HOW TO CONNECT WITH A WEBDAV SERVER WITH THE DAVF2 APPLICATION
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/davfs2-1.4.6.tar.gz
# ./davfs.SlackBuild
# installpkg /tmp/davfs2-1.4.5-x86_64-2_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
If the user was already defined, then add davfs2 to the groups:
# usermod -ga davfs2 user
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:
/home/user/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
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
