WebDAV Server Settings

The WebDAV sending function is a function for sending scanned image files, image files for received faxes, or image files sent from the Memory RX Inbox of the machine, to a WebDAV server directory on the Internet or your intranet, using the WebDAV protocol.

This section describes the procedure for setting up a WebDAV publishing directory.

Setting up a publishing directory enables users who have the necessary access privileges to manage files in the directory.

It is recommended that you consult the administrator for the network you are using when configuring the
WebDAV server.

IIS for Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2

Apache

IMPORTANT
Server authentication is required for sending to a WebDAV server. Enable authentication before using a WebDAV server. IIS for Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/8.1/Server 2012/Server 2012 R2: The authentication methods available for the server are Anonymous, Basic, or Digest authentication, and authentication errors will occur if you try to use another authentication method. If the Anonymous authentication method is enabled, access rights are assigned to all users, and IIS always performs anonymous authentication, even if either of the other two authentication methods are enabled. (The priority level is Anonymous authentication > Digest authentication > Basic authentication.) If a high level of security is required, disable anonymous authentication. Use the user names and passwords registered in the address book of the WebDAV server for the Basic and Digest authentication methods. For instructions on how to set the authentication method for IIS, see the IIS documentation. Apache: The authentication methods available for the server are the Basic and Digest authentication methods, and authentication errors will occur if you try to use another authentication method. If you set both the Basic and Digest authentication methods, the authentication method you set last will be enabled. Use the user names and passwords registered in the address book of the WebDAV server for authentication. For instructions on setting authentication methods, see the Apache Software Foundation Web site at http://www.apache.org/.

The procedure below uses items of Windows Vista/7/8 as an example. Depending on your environment, the items you see on the screen may differ.

In the [C:/Inetpub] folder of the computer you are using, create a physical directory to use as the sending destination.

IMPORTANT
The physical directory cannot be created in the [C:/Inetpub/wwwroot] folder, because the default DACL of wwwroot differs from that of other directories.

Start IIS → create a virtual directory.

If you are using IIS 6.0:

If you are using IIS 7.0/7.5/8.0:

If you are using IIS 6.0:

IMPORTANT
If IIS is not installed in the computer you are using, you will need to install the version of IIS for the operating system you are using before entering these settings. (See "Sending Data.") For installation procedures, see the manuals provided with your operating system. If you use WebDAV transmission with IIS 7.0/IIS 7.5, use either Basic authentication or Digest authentication. When connecting to a WebDAV server via a proxy with Digest authentication set using IIS 6.0, it is necessary to set <Use Divided Chunk Send for WebDAV TX> to 'On' from the control panel of the machine. (See "Dividing Data into Chunks When Sending with WebDAV.") If you use WebDAV with IIS 7.0, you must download the Microsoft WebDAV Extension from the IIS web site and install it separately. For details, refer to the IIS documentation. Apache 1.3 is provided with Mac OS X. If Apache is not installed in the computer you are using, refer to "Sending Data" and install the version for the operating system you are using (downloadable from the Apache Software Foundation Web site at http://www.apache.org/) before entering these settings. If you want to use SSL, install a version of Apache that supports SSL (downloadable from the Apache-SSL official Web site at http://www.apache-ssl.org/). After installing Apache, start it and confirm that the Apache service is working properly. If you are using Mac OS X, root has ownership of the Apache setting file (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf). In this case, perform one of the following procedures before specifying the WebDAV settings. For more information, see the documentation provided with your Macintosh or the Apache Software Foundation Web site at http://www.apache.org/. Obtain root access from the Terminal, using the sudo or su command In the Finder, temporarily change the permissions for the Apache setting file to give permission to the user who will set the WebDAV server (return the permissions for the Apache setting file to their original values after setting the WebDAV server.)
