CreateWebDavSession API¶
Creates a WebDAV session ticket for the signed-in user, to map infoRouter as a drive in Windows File Explorer or any WebDAV client. The ticket travels in the URL, https://server/dav/sid-{ticket}/, so the client needs no sign-in of its own, and the caller's own authentication ticket is not exposed. Answers with the new session as GetWebDavSessions lists it.

Methods¶
- GET
/srv.asmx/CreateWebDavSession?authenticationTicket=...&customExpirationDate=... - POST

Parameters¶
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
authenticationTicket |
string | Yes | Authentication ticket obtained from AuthenticateUser. |
customExpirationDate |
DateTime | No | When the ticket stops working, ISO 8601 (e.g. 2026-12-31T23:59:59). A UTC value is converted to server local time. Must be in the future (4000 otherwise). Omitted, the ticket expires the server's WebDAV expiry in days after its last use, a date each use moves forward. |

Required Permissions¶
Any authenticated, non-anonymous user. The ticket grants WebDAV access to what the user may see anyway; no further permission is needed.
Example¶
Request (POST)¶
POST /srv.asmx/CreateWebDavSession HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

SOAP Request¶
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
<soap:Body>
<tns:CreateWebDavSession>
<tns:authenticationTicket>abc123</tns:authenticationTicket>
<tns:customExpirationDate>2026-12-31T23:59:59</tns:customExpirationDate>

Notes¶
CreateDiskMountURLcreates the same session and answers only its mount path.- End a session with RemoveWebDavSession; the drive mapped with it stops working at once.
