- To connect to the share with KDE Dolphin, I did this:
The answer then is this:
Meaning basically “Cannot connect to server. Check your settings and try again”. The reason I’m sure the settings are correct is because the server sends me a login prompt. The reason I think it rejects my password is as follows:
- To mount the share in
/etc/fstabI pretty much followed the official documentation (the Dolphin part is a bit outdated) exactly:
My fstab entry looks like this:
https://my.nextcloudinstance.eu/remote.php/dav/files/bennypr0fane/ /home/ben/nextcloudinstance.eu-Nextcloud davfs user,rw,auto 0 0
where /home/ben/nextcloudinstance.eu-Nextcloud is the mountpoint.
In the ~/.davfs2/secrets file I used the $PathToMountPoint $USERNAME $PASSWORD syntax, so like /home/ben/nextcloudinstance.eu-Nextcloud bennypr0fane myverystrongpassword
After setting it up, trying to mount it goes like this:
~$ mount /home/ben/nextcloudinstance.eu-Nextcloud
das Einhängen schlug fehl; //failed to mount
Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge
So, that’s why I believe NC is rejecting my password.
This is a password I generated in Personal Settings > Security > Devices & Sessions by pressing the “Create new app password” button.
As mentioned, I tried it a couple times with fresh passwords on two different devices, same result. Also, I found this very similar issue (unsolved), albeit on an older NC version (20)
What do you think would be the problem?
