Question: I have a WebDAV server and I want to implement security with the help of okta. We have an Okta Authorizer on load balancer level, which authenticates each and every request. When I open a document from this WebDAV server on ms-office desktop apps, the Okta login page or something similar does not open and the document fails to load. Is there any way to pass the header via ms-office request? The user should not be prompted for each save request.

Research: I have gone through many articles, plugins, and addons which could support Okta SSO authorization, but didnt helped much. So asked here.

Your server should respond to unauthenticated requests with the WWW-Authenticate header populated with the appropriate bearer realm for Okta.
