Document Editing using MS Office
With the December 2023 security updates for MS Office, Microsoft has now changed the behaviour of MS Office applications when accessing Office documents via WebDAV
Previously, MS Office opened a login window when opening documents, in which the user had to log in again. This login window is now no longer displayed, instead a warning appears that the source (drive.powerfolder.com or my.powerfolder.com) uses an insecure login method.
If you want to access the documents via WebDAV, there is a workaround to set the PowerFolder servers to an Allow list. You can set the entry directly via a registry entry or via the MS Office group policies.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\common\identity]
"basichostallowlist"="my.powerfolder.com;drive.powerfolder.com"
