Searching for that error message brings up this MS KB article. You should configure SSL on the site.

SSL is already enabled. It is not enforced on any Website.

Since it's WebDAV, I am not sure which site to enforce it to?

It seems to prevent this message, you have to use HTTPS and also the FQDN of the server (which matches with the SSL certificate.

So https://servername.abc.com/lf works.
