HOW TO CONNECT WITH A WEBDAV SERVER
|
|
on SLACKWARE LINUX 13.0
|
|
|
|
In this HOWTO, the user is named "user"
|
|
Amend as required for your choice of username.
|
|
|
|
1. Login as root
|
|
|
|
2. Define a davfs2 group and user:
|
|
|
|
# groupadd -g 230 davfs2
|
|
# useradd -u 230 -d /var/cache/davfs2 -g davfs2 davfs2
|
|
|
|
3. If (and only if) you have a Slack64 install;
|
|
# export ARCH=x86_64
|
|
|
|
4. You may want to set the Package type that you will build:
|
|
# export PKGTYPE=txz
|
|
|
|
5. Build and install your package:
|
|
# tar xvf davfs2.tar.gz
|
|
# cd davfs2
|
|
# wget http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/nongnu.org/davfs2/davfs2-1.4.5.tar.gz
|
|
# ./davfs.SlackBuild
|
|
# installpkg /tmp/davfs2-1.4.5-x86_64-1_SBo.txz
|
|
|
|
6. Add the user if not already defined. My user shall be called user, so:
|
|
|
|
# adduser user
|
|
|
|
Read the Slackbook for more details on adduser, choose default settings BUT:
|
|
with the default group list add also davfs2:
|
|
|
|
Press ENTER to continue without adding any additional groups
|
|
Or press the UP arrow to add/select/edit additional groups
|
|
: audio cdrom floppy plugdev video power netdev davfs2
|
|
|
|
7. Edit /etc/fstab with the following line:
|
|
WEBDAV_SERVER_URL mount_point davfs noauto,user 0 0
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
https://example.org/user /home/user/mnt/dav davfs noauto,user 0 0
|
|
|
|
8. logout
|
|
|
|
9. Login again as your davfs user ("user" in my case).
|
|
|
|
10. $ mkdir -p $HOME/.davfs2/certs/private/ $HOME/mnt/dav
|
|
|
|
11. Move the certificate to $HOME/davfs2/certs/private and restrict the permission to rw-------:
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
$ mv CERTIFICATE.pfx $HOME/.davfs2/certs/private/
|
|
$ chmod 600 $HOME/.davfs2/certs/private/CERIFICATE.pfx
|
|
|
|
12. Optionally: Switch user to root and copy the system configuration file.
|
|
Then change ownership to the davfs user and exit back to the davfs user. There
|
|
are a lot of interesting comments in these files that might be helpful.
|
|
|
|
$ su -
|
|
# cp /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf ~user/.davfs2/
|
|
# cp /etc/davfs2/secrets ~user/.davfs2/
|
|
# chown -R user:users ~user/.davfs2/
|
|
# exit
|
|
|
|
13. Edit $HOME/.davfs2/davfs2.conf with the following line:
|
|
|
|
clientcert ~/.davfs2/certs/private/CERTIFICATE.pfx
|
|
|
|
Read:
|
|
|
|
$ man davfs2.conf
|
|
|
|
for all the details and options. Tests have shown that you do not need more
|
|
than the line above, but you may want to set many other interesting
|
|
parameters.
|
|
|
|
14. Edit $HOME/.davfs2/secrets with the following 2 lines:
|
|
|
|
https://example.org/user username password
|
|
CERTIFICATE.pfx passphrase
|
|
|
|
passphrase is the password for the PFX certificate
|
|
|
|
15. Restrict permssion for $HOME/.davfs2/secrets to rw-------:
|
|
|
|
$ chmod 600 $HOME/.davfs2/secrets
|
|
|
|
16. Mount the davfs service on $HOME/mnt/dav
|
|
|
|
$ mount https://example.org/user
|
|
|
|
You should be able to see your WEBDAV server on $HOME/mnt/user
|
|
|
|
17. When you would like to disconnect:
|
|
|
|
$ umount $HOME/mnt/dav
|
|
|
|
You should get a similar response (the pid number is random):
|
|
|
|
/sbin/umount.davfs: waiting while mount.davfs (pid 5700) synchronizes the cache .. OK
