On a Windows Vista-based computer, you are prompted to enter your user credentials when you use Internet Explorer to access files on a WebDAV site
Consider the following scenario:
- You are running a Windows Vista-based computer.
- You use Windows Internet Explorer to access files on a Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) site that resides on a local intranet site.
Note: A Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server site is an example of a WebDAV site.
In this scenario, you receive a dialog box that prompts you to enter your user credentials.
This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
- You do not configure any proxy-server settings in Internet Explorer.
- You access the WebDAV site on the local intranet site by using a single label host name, such as http://sites/ or http://mysps/.
This problem does not occur on a Windows XP-based computer that has Internet Explorer 6 or Internet Explorer 7 installed.
