How to create a Web Share in iPlanet ?

Hi,

HPUX 11i w/ iPlanet Web Server 4.1

Is it possible to create a "Web Share" in iPlanet ? This can be easily done in IIS but I am having problems getting it to work with iPlanet. Basically, what I need to do is map a folder using "My Network Places\Add Network Places" in Windows XP.

I can see the folder I have created in IE. URL: http:/servername/swift

Whenever I try to map the directory in XP I get the error message "The folder you have entered does not appear to be valid".

- I have enabled "Remote File Manipulation" on directory /opt/iplanet/swiftdocs/swift.

- My primary document directory is /opt/iplanet/swiftdocs/

- Owner of both dirs is "webuser"

Maybe this isn't the purpose of this feature. Please let me know if I should be looking into something else.

Regards,

Etienne.

Enabling Remote File Manipulation won't allow Windows XP to map a directory. Remote File Manipulation enables publishing with Netscape/Mozilla Composer. (It's worth noting that iPlanet Web Server 4.1 preceded the release of Windows XP by more than a year.)

Sun ONE Web Server 6.1 introduced support for WebDAV. In 6.1 and 7.0, you can define a WebDAV collection that can be mapped by Windows XP.

Thanks for your reply. Looks like we will need to upgrade to version 6 !I assume you can't map from XP using HTTPS ?

Are you asking whether simply enabling SSL (https) will allow you to map a directory without using WebDAV? The answer to that would be no. SSL is orthogonal to publishing.

Or, are you asking whether Microsoft's WebDAV client can work with SSL? Some versions certainly can. I'm not thoroughly versed in Microsoft Web Folders/Microsoft WebDAV min-redirector bugs, though, so it's possible there are issues with specific versions.
