Question

Can a Volume path use HTTPS

Updated September 10, 2015

asked on August 24, 2015

I have a client that would like to have their LF volume in a cloud storage where the vendor provides an HTTPS path. Since volumes want UNC, is there any way to do this? My customer can map a drive to it but of course LF volumes do not take a mapped drive letter either.

Laserfiche does require a UNC path. Are you sure the vendor doesn't support any other access? How exactly do the mapped drives work in the scenario - is it WebDAV?

Hi Brian,

I'm not sure how the mapped drive was setup, but the vendor for the storage does support WebDAV. With that said, is there a way it can be used in the LF volume?

I don't have any experience with this, but some searching makes it sound possible (e.g. this question). How will authentication be managed? What kind of latency do you expect?

Thanks Brian, I can appreciate that article, as it works great within Windows, but how is that to work with Laserfiche?

My customer sent me a path that looked like this: \\sha.box.com@SSL\shaWWWRoot\sha

When I copy that path into windows explorer, I get prompted for a username and password, which is great - it understands the UNC path.

However, when I paste that UNC path in a laserfiche volume I get the error shown below.

Any thoughts? Anyone?

If you get prompted for a user name and password, then it will not work as volume storage for LFS. LFS expects to be able to access that path without additional credentials or prompts.
