Accessing UCM through WebDAV

The other day it took me almost an hour to figure out what the UCM (fka: Stellent) WebDav URL is and how to access it from XP. Frustrating… Here it is for everybody’s benefit, including myself – for future reference.

• WebDav URL: http://<hostname&gt;:<portnumber>/idc/idcplg/webdav
  Alternative sources say: http://<hostname&gt;:<portnumber>/stellent/idcplg/webdav

The other thing I keep forgetting is how to define a WebDav connection under XP. Instead of simply selecting Tools > Map Network Drive in Windows Explorer (which doesn’t work for WebDav), follow these steps:

• Navigate to My Network Places
• Click the Folder icon in the Windows Explorer toolbar
• Click the Add a network place link on the left
• Provide the WebDav URL and your credentials.
