KnowledgeTree Overview > Integrating with Third Party Applications


Performance and functionality on 3rd party WebDAV clients is not verified. To protect your repository, take a cautionary approach when using these clients with the KnowledgeTree Integration Server.

 

Limited access is provided to the following 3rd party WebDAV clients:

Windows XP Explorer WebDAV
KDE Konqueror
Novel NetDrive
Cadaver

 

Note: We are continually extending the functionality of 3rd Party Clients for KnowledgeTree Integration Server and KnowledgeTree Tools for Windows. For more information on the various WebDAV clients, go to: http://www.greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/webfolder-client-list.html

 

Performance and known issues on some WebDAV clients

Windows (XP, Vista and Novel) - does not support overwriting
Vista - double clicking on folders won't open the folders; open folders using the tree navigation on the left pane, or right click on the folder, then select Open.
Goliath (Mac OS X) - does not support copying and moving of documents or folders
Mac OS X Finder - spaces in folder and document names are not supported, and are therefore replaced with a '+' sign.
Locking is not supported on any 3rd Party WebDAV clients

 

 

Enabling 'write' Mode on 3rd Party WebDAV Clients

3rd Party WebDAV clients are limited to read-only mode in the default installation. To enable write mode, edit the config.ini file in the KnowledgeTree var folder and turn off SafeMode. The file is created by default on first use of the KnowledgeTree Integration Server.

 

 

Windows users - Web Folders Update

Windows users who want to use Windows Explorer WebDAV must install the Web folders update, available at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=907306.

 

 

Authentication

Authentication under Windows XP (KnowledgeTree Commercial users) requires that you append the port to the hostname - e.g. http://www.hostname.com:80/kt3/baobab/ KnowledgeTree Community Edition users, use http://www.hostname.com:80/kt3/ktwebdav/

KnowledgeTree Web Services

The KnowledgeTree Web Service provides a simple, yet powerful mechanism for automating application-to-application communication.

 

KnowledgeTree's Web service layer, using SOAP, is the simplest way of integrating external applications with KnowledgeTree.
