To access the starting page enter the following URL in your web browser
 
<pre>
 
https://os-webdab.lsdf.kit.edu/
 
</pre>
 
 
Project directories are accessible at the usual location:

</pre>
 
where '''<OE>''' is the name of OE.

=== Mount WebDAV share as root (davfs2) ===
 
 
davfs2 is designed to fully integrate into the filesystem semantics of Unix-like systems (mount, umount, etc.).
 
 
davfs2 does extensive caching to make the file system responsive, to avoid unnecessary network traffic and to prevent data loss, and to cope for slow or unreliable connections.
 
 
'''Installation:'''
 
<pre>
 
>yum install -y epel-release
 
>yum install davfs2
 
</pre>

>mkdir /mnt/webdav
 
>mount.davfs https://os-webdav.lsdf.kit.edu/ /mnt/webdav >/dev/null 2>&1

<pre>
 
>usermod -a -G davfs2 xy1234
 
>grep davfs2 /etc/group
 
</pre>

<pre>
 
>cat /etc/fstab | grep webdav
 
https://os-webdav.lsdf.kit.edu/kit/inst/projects /mnt/webdav davfs rw,noauto,user,uid=xy1234 0 0
 
 
>chmod 600 /lsdf/kit/inst/xy1234/.davfs2/secrets
 
 
>cat /lsdf/kit/inst/xy1234/.davfs2/secrets | grep os-webdav
 
https://os-webdav.lsdf.kit.edu/kit/inst/projects xy1234 ***
 
 
>mount /mnt/webdav >/dev/null 2>&1
 
 
>umount /mnt/webdav
 
umount: /mnt/webdav: umount failed: Operation not permitted
