Password Required
Authored by: Nikodemus on Jun 12, '02 04:12:59PM

I followed Designr's suggestion and used the following to try to manually mount a volume on a local machine with TCP/IP enabled:

afp://user%20name:@server.domain.com/volume

I was able to get the volume to mount but was still bothered by the "Connect to file server" dialogue box which asks me for a password. Like Designr, we're behind a Firewall so I don't use any passwords for the local machines; just user names, which all contain spaces. I even tried substituting <server.domain.com> for the physical IP address, but was still asked to enter a password.

Has anyone figured out how to get volumes which do not require the password field to mount, either manually or at login?

To make our lives easier, we just give the users a password that's the same as their username. Made things tons better. Setup a keychain, do a little script to mount the servers, and viola mounting at logon.
