Using WebDAV in MS-Windows

Root certficate of the TRIUMF Certificate-Authority

On MS-Windows, the WebDAV client is built-in to Windows-Explorer and uses the same trusted certficates as Internet Explorer.  So even if you don't use Internet Explorer for regular web-browsing, you should still use it to import the TRIUMF-CA root-certificate. If you do not import the TRIUMF-CA root certificate, a security alert will be displayed when you first connect to the site.

WebDAV Configuration

On all versions of MS-Windows, the following settings will be used.

• Internet or network address: https://<site-name>.triumf.ca/dav
• Username: <Your TRIUMF e-mail account-name>
• Password: <Your TRIUMF e-mail password>
