Applies ToWindows 7 Windows Server 2008 R2

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You deploy Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) DirectAccess in a domain environment.

  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 in a remote network.

  • You join this computer to the domain, and then you use DirectAccess to connect this computer to a corporate network.

  • You try to access a Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) resource in the corporate network by using a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) address from this computer. For example, you try to open or edit a Microsoft Word document in the following SharePoint Document library:

http://www.contoso.com/sites/contoso/Shared%20Documents In this scenario, you expect to access the resource directly. However, you are prompted to enter your credentials to access the resource.

Cause

This issue occurs because the automatic logon level for Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP) is set to Medium. This behavior causes the user credentials not to be sent to the Internet server. Therefore, the FQDN address is regarded as an Internet server when you try to access the WebDAV resource and you are prompted to enter your credentials.
