I'm trying to connect to a secure WebDAV server but I keep getting the error "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply"

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

How can I check the security policy or furthur diagnose the problem? I am connected through windows machines.

Make sure the URI you connect to is like this:

For SSL (https):

davs://[username@]servername.tld/folder

If not encrypted (http):

dav://[username@]servername.tld/folder

AFAIK, most webdav servers can only access known folders, they don't support browsing from the root up. Also, the webdav user may be a different one than your current user.

If you don't mind having some xfce dependencies on board, the gigolo package will give you a bookmark editor for such links.

I was able to solve the problem by circumventing it using davfs2 and mounting by command line and fstab rather than going through gnome.

The error was fixed for me by deleting the saved information for the webdav location from the keyring/ Passwords & Encryption key program.

  1. Use Applications -> Accessories -> Passwords... or search for passwords in launcher and delete the user/password info.

  2. Retry to connect.
