Disable WebDAV credential request after first login
-
Is there a way for me to map a web server using webdav and not have it ask me for credentials every time I read something inside of it? I'd like it to request it once and then never again unless their password changes etc. Is this just a permissions issue because It's not synced with active directory?
-
AD plays no part in that process. It can work or fail even when AD does not exist.
-
@scottalanmiller I see. So what would cause this then?
-
Do you have it connected as a mapped drive? Are you trying to use a user that is different on one side than on the other?
-
@scottalanmiller Yes I am. There is a dialogue that pops up asking me if i want to save the credentials. I save the credentials and they are still requested even though each dialogue box is filled in. Is there a way once they are entered to just seamlessly access the server?

And the credentials that you are giving are identical to the ones that you are logged in with in every way? There are three components... username, password and workgroup/domain. These must be all the same.

Hm. I don't know how to add a CentOS 7 server VM to a domain actually. Never had to do it in Linux. The username and password are identical. If this is required, is there a way to sync Next Cloud with Active Directory?

Personally I wouldn't want a sync, I'd want NC to use LDAP of AD for authentication. This removes sync issues.

Sync means running AD locally on CentOS, rather than talking to AD like Windows would. You don't sync AD to Windows machines. Don't treat Linux as a special case.

My mistake
Thank you for clarifying -

Would the NextCloud server need to join the domain or is talking through ldap enough? unsure what is required

Yes, you have to configure NextCloud or the users you want to use aren't in there!

It should pop up and prompt you for a username & password, but as @scottalanmiller mentioned, these should exist on the Nextcloud server.
Are you able to actually access the data when you enter your username & password when it asks?
