sudo webhare-connect-helper --install-sudo

About automatically mounting WebDav folder on macOS (OSX)

Starting with OS X Sierra, /Volumes is owned and only writeable by root. WebHare connect uses a helper to create mount points. This script is run using sudo, so to avoid having to type in your password when connecting, add a line to /etc/sudoers containing something like:

%admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/webhare-connect-helper/src/create-mountpoint.sh

with the correct path to the create-mountpoint.sh script. This will allow sudo to run the script as root without asking for a password for users within the 'admin' group.

This is what --install-sudo does for you.

Unistallation

webhare-connect-helper --uninstall
sudo rm /etc/sudoers.d/connect-helper   # IF you used --install-sudo
npm u -g webhare-connect-helper
