Connecting to the WebDav folder to customize Process Portal
You can use web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) to make and deploy customized login pages and banners to Process Portal. WebDAV provides a network protocol for creating interoperable, collaborative applications.
Various third-party clients are available that support the WebDAV protocol. Ensure that you have a recommended WebDAV client installed; other clients might not work in your environment. For more information about the recommended clients and the versions that are supported, see the
detailed system requirements for your IBM BPM configuration.
Because WebDAV works over HTTP, you get all the benefits of HTTP that FTP cannot provide, such as strong authentication, encryption, proxy support, and caching.
Procedure
Regardless of the WebDav client that you use, ensure that you configure the client to use the HTTP/SSL protocol. In addition, include the following information in the configuration settings.
- The host name of the IBM BPM server that hosts Process Portal.
- The SSL port of the IBM BPM server, for example, 9443.
- The user name and password for the Process Portal administrator that was used during profile creation.
- The path to be used for the WebDav folder: /mum/mycontenthandler/mm/dav/filestore
