Content Server 6 WebDAV Access

Has anybody gotten the WebDAV functionality in Content Server 6 to work?
When I go to new->Web Folder, I get the pop up with my logon information and the URL:
http://portal-server/portal/server.pt/auth/gateway/PTARGS_32_1_572_-1_0_43/http;/content-server;8080/ptcs/WebDAV
However, when I try to add this as a new Network Place in Windows Explorer, I only get a message that thsi is an invalid folder. When trying without the gateway prefix (only the content server address), I get a login prompt, at which I cannot login with my credentials.

Sap Content server Direct Browser Access - docGet

We use SAP Content Server for DMS doc storage. Docs are stored without digital signing.
I am looking to access dms original files directly via web browser using the "docGet" command.
My url looks as shown:
http://pswdf009:1080/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?docGet&pVersion=0045&contRep=K1&docId=361A524A3ECB5459E0000800099245EC
When I call the url, browser does not seem to be able to read the file type of the server response. An "open/save" dialog appears and when "open" is selected a subsequent dialog appears asking which application to use to open the file. Once the correct application is chosen, the document is displayed correctly.
Is there some way to instruct the browser the content-type is application/pdf?
Will CSAdmin parameter changes have any impact?
The browser is Internet Explorer 6.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Roger,
you may of course find an answer here.
But mySAP PLM DMS is not a focus topic here (besides maybe connecting it into the SAP Portal and KM). Thus, you may be better off using a contact or a message to PLM.

WebDAV Access: SAP Content Server

Hello everyone,
I would like to use SAP Content Server to store the courses created in LSO Authoring Environment. (Client wants it this way...i have no clue why). Now in order to use SAP Content Server here, the content server must support WebDAV access. So does the content server support WebDAV, if yes -- how to enable it and how to browse it.
Thanks,
GLM

If the documents are stored in DMS with Content Server as the repository, you should be able to access them using the DMS connector to KM. This is a business package which, when installed, exposes document stored in DMS to KM as a KM repository. Then you can browse it like any other KM repository. There are a lot of posts in this forum and others about the DMS connector.
You can also try to enable WebDAV if you Content Server is using a MaxDB database.

WebDAV repository to Content Server

Hi all,
I have a problem. We have some data in a content server, and would like to create a repository to allow users to read the file on this content server. SAP says it is posible to technically posible to connect to the content server via webdav, but I can't find how to do it. If I make a connection to the IIS I only get the files in the home directory of the content server website, that is som dlls. If I make a webdav connection to the database I only get a connection to a system webdav table that have nothing, and can't configure the table to use the content server tables.
Any idea on how to solve this? Can't use the DMS connector in this case, because we use archivelink.
Thanks in advance,
Gregori Coll Ingles.

Hi Gregori
       You can configure your content server data as file repository. You can refer this link for the
configuration of file repository.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4c/9d953fc405330ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
       Or if you want to do it using IIS Server. You have to
1) Creat one virtula directory under your default website.
2) Apply your data folder as the Web Site Content Directory for that virtual directory.
       For eg. you have created the virtual directory named 'Content' then you can access your web site as
http://website/Content.( website= yours website ip or name)
3) Give the same path as above in 'http system' which you have created for the WebDAV repository.
        Hope this will help you.

Access Content Server Pos-installation Configuration

Hello,
I am new with Oracle ECM, I am starting to use it for Webcenter requirements.
I have installed succesfully Oracle Content Server. I accessed http://localhost:16200/cs, and it showed me the post-installation configurations.
I made some changes and restarted the server. I then realized I had made some mistakes. How can I access the configuration screen again, and make some changes? Thank you.
Joao

Hi
That config screen does not show up a second time .
If you want to make modifications to the configurations then make them in<domain_home>/ucm/cs/config/config.cfg
After the changes are done UCM restart should be done .

LSO AE - Content Server how to?

Hello everyone,
I would like to use SAP Content Server to store the courses created in LSO Authoring Environment. (Client wants it this way...i have no clue why). Now in order to use SAP Content Server here, the content server must support WebDAV access. So does the content server support WebDAV, if yes -- how to enable it and how to browse it.

If you have WebDAV Interface to your content management system you can integrate the Learning Portal into your existing intranet, which means SAP Enterprise Learning can run without SAP Netweaver Portal.
WebDAV interfaces link the content management component with learning management software and the authoring environment.

Content Server Installed but doesnt respond

Hi,
    I have installed the Content server on Win2K3 as given in the installation guide.I have installed for file storage on the file system.
    After installation i got the message that everything is ok.But then when i execute the command
http://<server>:<port>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo
    I get the response as page cannot be displayed.I want to use the content server for DMS storage so that i can use KPro instead of the vault.
    Same thing when i do
http://<server>:<port>/
    I get a pop-up asking for the user-name and password but when i give the user name as administrator and password it doesnt allow access.
    Please advise
Regards
Ankan Majumdar

Note Number : 361123
Symptom
You want the SAP Content server to work properly.
Other terms
Signed URLs, AdminSecurity, SsfVerify failed
Reason and Prerequisites
The SAP Content Server was installed in accordance with the installation guide. For new installations, we recommend that you use the latest released version of the SAP Content Server, regardless of the SAP System release to which the SAP Content Server is connected.
Solution
This note provides additional information on different aspects of security when using the SAP Content Server.
Security against data loss
     The SAP server content stores the contents of the confidential document either in an SAP-DB instance or in the file system. To avoid data loss, the usual measures for databases and file systems are taken. These are only mentioned briefly here: Redundant hardware (mirror disks, raid systems and so on), regular backup (log files, backup). When you back-up the Content Server, note that you also have to save the ContentServer.ini configuration file as well as the Security directory in addition to backing up the database instance or the directories of the file system used for document content.
     Note 319332 describes backup strategies for a Content Server with database folders.
     SAP does not have a tool for backing up file system folders. In this case it is the responsibility of the customer to select and convert the backup strategy. Here you should note that, for a complete and consistent backup of a file system folder, it may be necessary to shut down the Content Server for the duration of the backup.
Security against unauthorized accesses on filed contents
     Before you access the content server, an authorization check usually occurs in the SAP system. However, the content server is usually accessed using a disclosed HTTP log. To make sure that only authorized accesses are possible, 'signed URLs' must be used. Signed URLs are URLs that were signed by the SAP system. You can recognize signed URLs because they are considerably longer than unsigned URLs and contain additional parameters. The signed URL, in particular, contains the additional parameters expiration (expiry time) and secKey (digital signature). A signed URL is only valid if the expiry time has not yet been exceeded and if it contains a valid signature. In order that the signature can be checked by the content server, the public key (certificate) of the SAP system must be stored on the content server and tagged for the corresponding repository. Transactions OAHT, OAC0 (as of 4.6C) and CSADMIN (as of 4.6C for SAP content server) are used to transfer the certificate. The certificate must be activated on the content server for the repository. Use CSADMIN to do this (for SAP Content server).
     In order that the digital signature of the SAP system can be used properly, EVERY SAP system must have its own unique certificate. To ensure this, a 'PSE' must be generated once in every SAP system after this SAP system is developed. Use transaction PSEMAINT to do this (note 354819).
     To protect the connection between the Content Server and its SAP-DB instance, the name and password of the database user can be changed and stored in encrypted format in the configuration of the content server. For details, see note 661852.
Access control for the administration
     The content server is partly administered from within the SAP system, and partly from outside it. When it is administered from outside, you must ensure that only authorized persons have (administrative) access to the server on which the content server is running. The (administrative) access to the database (note 212394) must be restricted accordingly.
     In order that administrative accesses from the SAP system are only possible for authorized persons, the parameter AdminSecurity must be set to 1 in the content server. You will find details on this in the installation documentation of the SAP Content Server.
Protection against server hardware outage
     The Windows version of the SAP Content Server can also be installed in an MSCS environment (Microsoft Cluster Server). For more detailed information, see "SAP Content Server 6.20 in an MSCS Environment", dated March 4, 2003, in the "News" section on the SAP Service Marketplace (http://service.sap.com/ha
     The duration of the non-availability of content servers, cache servers and alias servers can be reduced with the automated operator intervention described in note 484459.

DMS Content server restriction

Hi All,
In the past we have tried to restrict user access to DMS data (on content server) using DOC type/status restriction. Now we are trying to explore the possibilities of restricting users from accessing export control data from a specific content server.
1. Is there a authorization object using which we can define what content server one have access/restriction?
2. If answer is NO is there a standard method industry is following for this?

How to Access data from SAP Content Server through SAP Portal

Hi Experts,
I want to aceess the data from SAP Content server through portal. Currently I am working on LSO business package. The SAP content server should work like Webdav as we uses KM as webdav.
I am trying to use this URL into the CMS address but it is not working
http://XXX-XXX-XXXX:1090/ConTentServer/ContentServer.dll?adminContRep&operation=docIdList&contRep=ZADGAS_LSO
Is there any other procedure for acceesing the DATA from SAP content server. ?
Thanks,
Ahmad

If your Content Server is being used by DMS, then you can use the DMS Connector for KM. This connector allows all documents stored in DMS to be accessed in Portal as if they are stored in KM. For more info see this:
