Configuring the WebDAV transmission environment

Overview

The WebDAV transmission is a function that transmits original data scanned on this machine to a specified folder in the WebDAV Server.

WebDAV, which is an extension to the HTTP specification, provides the same security technologies as HTTP. Use SSL to encrypt a communication with the WebDAV server; you can send a file more securely.

When using the WebDAV transmission, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.

  1. Configure settings for connecting to the network such as setting of the IP address of this machine

    supplementary explanationFor details on configuring the setting, refer to [Configuring network environment settings] .

  2. Configure basic settings for the WebDAV transmission

    supplementary explanationFor details on configuring the setting, refer to [Configure basic settings for the WebDAV transmission] .

  3. Set the following options according to your environment

    Purpose

Configure basic settings for the WebDAV transmission

Enable the WebDAV transmission. In addition, configure the settings for connecting to the WebDAV server.

In the administrator mode, select [Network] - [WebDAV Settings] - [WebDAV Client Settings], then configure the following settings.

Settings

Description

[WebDAV TX Setting]

Select [ON] to use the WebDAV transmission function.

[ON] is specified by default.

[Connection Timeout]

If necessary, change the time-out time to limit a communication with the WebDAV server.

[60] sec. is specified by default.

[Server Authentication Character Code]

Select a character code to perform the authentication under the WebDAV server.

You can use this setting when [Japanese] is specified for the language to be displayed on the Touch Panel.

[UTF-8] is specified by default.

Using the proxy server

When the proxy server is used in your network environment, you can configure settings so that the WebDAV server is accessed via the proxy server.

To use the proxy server, register the proxy server information on this machine. In addition, configure the settings for connection to the proxy server.

In the administrator mode, select [Network] - [WebDAV Settings] - [WebDAV Client Settings], then configure the following settings.

Settings

Description

[Proxy Server Address]

Enter the proxy server address.

Use one of the following formats.

  • Example of host name entry: "host.example.com"

  • Example of IP address (IPv4) entry: "192.168.1.1"

  • Example of IP address (IPv6) entry: "fe80::220:6bff:fe10:2f16"

[Proxy Server Port Number]

If necessary, change the proxy server port number.

[8080] is specified by default.

[User Name]

Enter the password of the user name you entered into [User Name] (using up to 63 characters).

To enter (change) the password, select the [Password is changed.] check box, then enter a new password.

Using SSL communication

Communication between this machine and the WebDAV server is encrypted with SSL.

If a communication with the WebDAV server is encrypted using SSL in your environment, configure its setting.

Enable SSL for WebDAV destinations registered on this machine. In addition, specify how to verify the certificate.

  1. In the administrator mode, select [Store Address] - [Address Book] - [WebDAV], and set [SSL Settings] to [ON] (Default: [OFF]).

    supplementary explanationTo directly enter a destination WebDAV server, configure SSL setting when entering the destination.

  2. In the administrator mode, select [Network] - [WebDAV Settings] - [WebDAV Client Settings], then configure the certificate verification method.

    Settings
