I am trying to connect rclone to a public sharepoint file share that doesn't require any authentication to access - Is this supported in rclone latest?
I tried the onedrive config approach first but this requires the config step to get a token - which isn't possible in this use case so I can't complete the step.
I then tried the webdav version but I get 403/authentication failure errors. Accessing the share on chrome and looking at network traffic, I see that there's a redirect to login.microsoft.com which sets a authentication cookie and redirects back to the public sharepoint.
I have tried setting cookies myself using the auth key I got from chrome but this doesn't work either e.g.:
rclone --http-headers "set-cookie,FedAuth=[snip" ls publicshare: -vv --dump requests
I assume --http-headers doesn't work with other backends?
I can't share the URL publically to the sharepoint site but happy to do so in PM if needed or do further diagnostic tests.
Did you try configuring it as a plain webdav backend? Ie answering other to this question
Name of the Webdav site/service/software you are using
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
1 / Nextcloud
\ "nextcloud"
2 / Owncloud
\ "owncloud"
3 / Sharepoint
\ "sharepoint"
4 / Other site/service or software
\ "other"
If it doesn't need auth, then I would have thought that should work...
I'm not a sharepoint guy but seems something else is needed here to full-fill the anonymous context. Just was reading this but i'm not sure how relevant that really is to you.
@calisro Thanks for the earlier post - I had a look at both links and wasn't entirely sure how they could help in my case as I've no control over the originating sharepoint link but this site defo seems to be setup as a anonymous share.
Yeah I am stabbing in the dark a bit regarding the cookie solution - I just noted that setting a cookie is a workaround in the past based on this article:
Since my post / your reply, I found out this sharepoint is not public but can be viewed by invitation link and that the original link contains this invite code - so I re-setup rclone with webdav / other and tried again and this time I now get a new error '405 method not allowed' so I guess my question should be updated to say 'does rclone support invite only sharepoints' and I'm guessing that this isn't a rclone issue but a sharepoint one where invitees aren't allowed to query the API to get listings etc (even tho I do have write access to upload and view files and folders). See below for request output:
