Using the Web DA V Launch AP I
In order to provide a seamless user experience, the Fonto WebDAV Connector provides a launch API which makes it easy to integrate into the user interface of any CMS that supports WebDAV.
The integration is as easy as creating a hyperlink with a few parameters. The CMS or DMS may either open the hyperlink in a new browser window or create an iframe.
The URL template for the WebDAV launch API is:
{fonto Url}/webdav/launch?url={url}&username={user Name}&password={password}&path={path}&display Name={display Name}&return Url={return Url}
