Is there a way to mask Weblink URLs completely?

WebLink Version 9

I understand from the documentation that there is a slight way to mask the URL using the tokens that are related to other characters, but is there a way to mask the entire URL to just display the basic page which would be serverName/Weblink?

You could do something like putting WebLink inside an iframe.  Since just the top-level page URL goes in the browser address bar, it makes it less obvious what WebLink URL the content comes from.  WebLink still needs to know what content to display, and this information in general comes from the browser one way or another, so anyone who really wants to know can find out.

Most reasons for wanting to hide the URL are to try to enforce security without actually using Laserfiche security.  I would not recommend any of these schemes if security is important.  See this question for a previous discussion.

If it's a licensing policy that's keeping you from using Laserfiche security, you should raise the issue with your regional manager.

If I were to be using iframe to mask the URLs would I be placing this within Weblink files such as the Browse.aspx or Welcome.aspx?

Your containing page doesn't even have to be on the same server, and it's probably easier not to try to add it to the WebLink project.  It just returns an iframe with the URL you want, so it doesn't interact with WebLink directly.  It will require some code, so this allows you to use whatever environment you're most comfortable with.
