a drive letter under WinXP SP3

[bighen1962]

Hi,
I installed 4.1 version and am quite happy with the performance, versioning, rights, etc.
Just need one feature to set: a drive letter on the client side (again XP SP3 clients).
I have tried many WebDAV clients, none of them working ok.
Obviously it is working fine in 'explorer' style windows, but I need a drive letter
to tell the user quite simply: document server with your folders is under X: drive letter.

Before OpenKM I tested M-Files and the drive letter usage was impressive.

So: what is the way to get OpenKM repositorium as a drve letter?

I suggest you use "webdrive"
taxonomy path: http://ip:8080/OpenKM/respository/default/okm:root/
For templates it'll be: http://ip:8080/OpenKM/respository/defau ... templates/
etc..

Thanks for the tip, but...

This message comes while connecting with webdrive (v 9.14 build 2353)

Connecting to site test

More details:

I have Apache instance running on port 80.
I did port redirection while testing other cients, but it is not relevant I think...

Because it looks the listing of the directory fails I tried different URLs but none worked...

Also I can say it again: access to the repository is seamless
while using the browsers (the /OpenKM/ folder to :8080 port redirection works again fine)

Any ideas to get a letter drive welcome...

I think could be a bug in this version of webdrive, the character ":" could be a problem try without okm:root and tell me if runs right ?

Try too with our online demo at demo.openkm.com to veryfy if it's port 8080 the problem ( have you configured 8080 in webdrive wizard ? )

Hi,
The port redirection was the reason.
The url:

http://ait:8080/OpenKM/repository/default/okm:root/

connects fine.
While I was trying 8080 before I must have made other mistake...

Short test shows versioning and rights working fine...

Bad news is the price for Webdrive is about 2k$ for 100 seats I need.

I tested XP built-in connection services but it does not work on 8080 port.
So Webdrive will help me with verifying proper port redirections.

You can change jboss port or use apache proxy ( in wiki it's explained how to configure it ).

Windows webdav support it's not really very good. We can not help on windows webdav clients price only we can suggest what we knows runs well. You could try other netdrive for example ( but for me has worked worst than webdrive )
