NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Connecting to WebDAV on OS X 10.8.x or Windows 7 will refuse authentication, although nothing is printed to the logs.

      Connecting on an older version of OS X (tested 10.6.x) works without a problem.

      Steps to reproduce on OS X:

      1. Open Finder
      2. Hit CMD + K to bring up the 'Connect to Server' dialog box
      3. Enter the URL http://<path-to-confluence>/plugins/servlet/confluence/default
      4. When prompted, enter your credentials

      On 10.8.x

      The Finder dialog box will shake and prompt for authentication again

      On 10.6.x

      Finder will open Confluence's page/attachment structure as expected

      Workaround

      Third party clients such as Cyberduck work correctly.
      As an example, to connect to _http://localhost:8090/confluence_ you'd use these details:

      Server = URL before the port number
      Port = port number
      Path = URL after the port number

            CONF-28845 is marked as fixed in Confluence 5.7.

            Do the connection issues with Windows 7 get resolved by the fix for CONF-28845 also?

            I am going to be very blunt. This error and others with WEBDAV are UNEXECUSABLE. The very heart of this product is about sharing, whether wiki pages or documents. Every developer should at Atlassian should be on this fixing the CORE of Confluence vs trying to think up bell and whistle ideas. If this product cannot do the underlying core aspects everything else is useless.

            SO... WHEN will this be fixed??? When will WEBDAV work on Apple OS/X as well as IOS?? Without this all apps on these devices cannot use Confluence as a cloud storage device.

            Ah, I guess it is up to me to "convince" Atlassian to fix it. In my world, this is not acceptable and truly makes me to continue to think that Confluence is NOT READY for the enterprise.
