However when I try to push or pull comments I get prompted for authentication again and it fails.
I am trying to use the 'Send for shared commenting' feature in Adobe Acrobat (2017 Std, Windows 10.) Acrobat allows you to sync comments between users with access to a shared drive (network drive or webdav folder.) I can connect to a Confluence webdav folder from Acrobat, and the comments directory is created.
