TeamConnect includes a WebDAV server to enable management of TeamConnect documents through a compatible WebDAV client application. WebDAV is a standardized protocol for accessing and sharing files over a distributed environment. If you enable it, your users can access the TeamConnect Documents area through WebDAV clients. Mitratech supports two clients: Windows Explorer and the Mac OS WebDAV client. The WebDAV server is certified with the Windows Explorer client.

Deprecated:

WebDAV, which underlies the Web Folders / “Open in Explorer” functionality, is a legacy file-access protocol whose security depends entirely on how it is implemented and configured on the server. By itself, WebDAV does not provide encryption or strong authentication; protection must be added via the surrounding stack (for example, HTTPS/TLS and modern authentication mechanisms). This makes improperly configured WebDAV endpoints more susceptible to certain types of attacks.

In November 2023, Microsoft announced that the WebClient (WebDAV) service is deprecated in Windows 10 and Windows 11, and it will no longer be developed going forward. In alignment with this direction and to help ensure the ongoing security and integrity of the TeamConnect platform, TeamConnect Enterprise (TCE) version 7.0 and later no longer support WebDAV-based integration.

Microsoft’s announcement and current status of the WebClient (WebDAV) service can be found in the Windows client deprecation documentation at:
