HOW TO CONNECT WITH A WEBDAV SERVER WITH THE DAVF2 APPLICATION
In this HOWTO, the user is named "chris"
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 -s /bin/false davfs2
3. Build and install davfs2 as usual.
4. Add the user if not already defined. My user shall be called chris, so:
# adduser chris
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 lp scanner davfs2
If the user was already defined, then add davfs2 to the groups:
# usermod -aG davfs2 chris
5. Edit /etc/fstab with the following line:
WEBDAV_SERVER_URL mount_point davfs noauto,user 0 0
For example:
https://example.org/chris /home/chris/mnt/dav davfs noauto,user 0 0
6. logout
7. Login again as your davfs user ("chris" in my case).
8. $ mkdir -p $HOME/.davfs2/certs/private/ $HOME/mnt/dav
9. 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
10. Optionally: Copy the system configuration file. There are a lot of
interesting comments in these files that might be helpful.
$ cp /usr/share/davfs2/* $HOME/.davfs2/
11. 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 might need more
than the line above, so you may want to read about other interesting
parameters, e.g.:
add_header Translate F
12. Edit $HOME/.davfs2/secrets with the following 2 lines:
/home/chris/mnt/dav username password
CERTIFICATE.PFX passphrase
The username and password are relevant to the Webdav server, not for the
local account.
passphrase is the password for the PFX certificate
You should obtain all these from the Webdav server Administrator
13. Restrict permssion for $HOME/.davfs2/secrets to rw-------:
$ chmod 600 $HOME/.davfs2/secrets
14. Mount the davfs service on $HOME/mnt/dav
$ mount $HOME/mnt/dav
You should be able to see your WEBDAV server on $HOME/mnt/dav/
15. 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
