Joakim Erdfelt commented on MRM-476:
------------------------------------
I just tried 1.0-beta-2 on my winXP (SP2) Laptop, and it allows for the
creation of a Managed Repository using only UNC urls.
However, the security around UNC is apparently not supported by java.
I get a windows popup auth dialog when archiva attempts to access the UNC path.
I'm not sure how windows caches those auth credentials.
I can't figure out how to get a server webapp to use UNC and provide
credentials on the attempt to access that filesystem.
I believe this is beyond the capabilities of the standard Java file.io.* libs.
I'm going to be closing this jira as fixed.
Please open a new Jira if you feel that auth is important with UNC on Archiva.
For now, I think we should recommend that people mount their windows file
shares properly to gain the benefit of OS provided security/auth.

> Currently, if I try to use a network share with a UNC path when creating a
> Managed Repository, the path is replaced with a newly created directory on
> the system root. For example, using the path of
> file:/\\path_to_network_share gets changed to file:/C:/path_to_network share.
> I have tried a combination of strings for the url but have not been able to
> connect to a network share.
