CreateDiskMountURL API

Creates a time-limited WebDAV disk mount URL for the currently authenticated user. The returned URL points to the root of the infoRouter WebDAV share and can be used to mount infoRouter as a network drive in Windows Explorer or any WebDAV-capable client. A dedicated DAV session ticket is generated for the URL; the calling user's normal authentication ticket is not embedded in it.

• No additional document or folder permission is required — the returned URL grants WebDAV access to items the user would normally be permitted to see.
• Anonymous users cannot obtain a WebDAV mount URL.

Example

GET Request

GET /srv.asmx/CreateDiskMountURL?authenticationTicket=3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301&customExpirationDate=2026-12-31T23:59:59 HTTP/1.1

POST Request

POST /srv.asmx/CreateDiskMountURL HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

authenticationTicket=3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301
&customExpirationDate=2026-12-31T23:59:59

SOAP Request

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>
    <tns:CreateDiskMountURL>
      <tns:AuthenticationTicket>3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301</tns:AuthenticationTicket>
      <tns:customExpirationDate>2026-12-31T23:59:59</tns:customExpirationDate>
    </tns:CreateDiskMountURL>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Using the Returned URL

Construct the full mount URL by prepending your server's base address to the Value returned in the response:

https://yourserver.example.com/dav/sid-3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301/

This URL can be mapped as a network drive on Windows:

net use Z: "https://yourserver.example.com/dav/sid-3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301/"

Notes

• The returned URL is root-level WebDAV — it gives access to all domains and folders the user is permitted to browse, not a specific document.
• A separate DAV session ticket is created for the URL. This ticket is independent of the caller's authentication ticket and can be handed to a WebDAV client without exposing the original ticket.
• The ticket embedded in the URL expires at customExpirationDate. After expiry, the mount URL stops working and a new URL must be requested.
• If customExpirationDate is supplied in UTC, the server automatically converts it to local time before creating the ticket.
• To create a URL for editing a specific document (e.g. opening a Word file directly in Microsoft Office), use CreateEditDocumentURL instead.
• The WebDAV endpoint supports PROPFIND, GET, PUT, LOCK, and UNLOCK operations, enabling full read/write access through compatible clients.
