Webdav Server Settings; Iis For Windows 2000/2000 Server/Xp/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista - Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5051 Getting Started

WebDAV Server Settings

The WebDAV sending function is a function for sending scanned image files, image files for received faxes, or image files sent
from the mail boxes or Memory RX Inbox of the machine, to a WebDAV server directory on the Internet or your intranet, using
the WebDAV protocol.
This section describes the procedure for setting up a WebDAV publishing directory. Setting up a publishing directory enables
users who have the necessary access privileges to manage files in the directory.
It is recommended that you consult the administrator for the network you are using when configuring the WebDAV server.

IIS for Windows 2000/2000 Server/XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista

The procedure below uses items of Windows 2000 as an example. Depending on your environment, the items you see on the
screen may differ.
•
If IIS is not installed in the computer you are using, you will need to install the version of IIS for the operating system you are using before
entering these settings. (See "System Requirements" in "Sending Data, " on p. 2-6.) For installation procedures, see the manuals provided
with your operating system.
•
Server authentication is required for sending to a WebDAV server. Enable authentication before using a WebDAV server. The
authentication methods available for the server are Anonymous, Basic, or Digest authentication, and authentication errors will occur if
you try to use another authentication method. If the Anonymous authentication method is enabled, access rights are assigned to all users,
and IIS always performs anonymous authentication, even if either of the other two authentication methods are enabled. (The priority level
is Anonymous authentication > Digest authentication > Basic authentication.) If a high level of security is required, disable anonymous
authentication. Use the user names and passwords registered in the address book of the WebDAV server for the Basic and Digest
authentication methods. For instructions on how to set the authentication method for IIS, see the IIS documentation.
•
If you use WebDAV transmission with IIS 7.0, use either Basic authentication or Digest authentication.
•
When connecting to a WebDAV server via a proxy with Digest authentication set using IIS 6.0, it is necessary to set <Use Divided Chunk
Send for WebDAV TX> to 'On' from the control panel of the machine. (See e-Manual > Settings/Registration.)
•
If you use WebDAV with IIS 7.0, you must download the Microsoft WebDAV Extension from the IIS web site and install it separately. For
details, refer to the IIS documentation.
1
Right-click [My Computer] → in the [C:/Inetpub] folder, create a physical directory to use as the
sending destination .
The physical directory cannot be created in the [C: /Inetpub/wwwroot] folder, because the default DACL of wwwroot differs from
that of other directories.
2
Create a virtual directory .
☐ Start IIS → from the IIS snap-in, select the Web site to add a directory to.
☐ On the [Action] menu, point to [New] → select [Virtual Directory].
☐
Follow the instructions on the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard to complete the creation of the directory.
Specify the directory path created in step 1 as a physical path to the virtual directory.
For IIS 7.0, start IIS and right-click Default Web Site in the Connections panes on the left side of the IIS manager, then select [Add
Virtual Directory] and enter an alias and physical path.
3
Select [Write] in the virtual directory properties to give access for writing files to the WebDAV
clients .
If you are using IIS 6.0, click [Allow] for [WebDAV] in [Web Service Extensions] in IIS Manager.
If you are using IIS 7.0, select the virtual directory you have created from the Connections panes on the left side of the IIS manager,
then select [WebDAV Authoring Rules] from [Home]. Select [Add Authoring Rule] from [Actions], and enter the appropriate access
settings. Select [Edit Permissions] from [Actions], and set the access permissions for the physical directory in the [Security] tab of the
properties dialog box.
