AFP Shares in Self Service

Oh and if I go to the share in question in Finder, I get prompted for my password and I get right on to the share.

Quick update:

If I test this script manually with "sudo -u tom /usr/sbin/jamf mount -server plexmini.sch.org -share PodCast -type afp" it works fine with the message "Mounting to /Volumes/PodCast 1... Mounted file server ". Then testing to see if variables are working, I try "sudo -u $3 /usr/sbin/jamf mount -server plexmini.sch.org -share PodCast -type afp" but get the error "unknown user: /usr/sbin/jamf"

I don't think you $3 variable is set as the currently logged in user. I've seen other threads where people have used the following command to get the currently logged in user.

CurrentUser=/bin/ls -l /dev/console | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $3 }'

Have you tried echoing the variables you are using in your policy so you can look at the log to see what those variables are actually set to? I think I remember reading something about policies executing as root in Self Service and needing to get the current logged in user using a command like the above one to get it rather than relying on $3.

@mpermann I'll work on the echo, I'm a shell newbie. Thank you

I wound up taking $3 out of the equation by using user=ls -l /dev/console | cut -d " " -f 4 instead. Turns out my other variables don't pass properly either. If I use the following it works fine, but not with variables sudo -u $user /usr/sbin/jamf mount -server plexmini.sch.org -share PodCast -type afp

#!/bin/bash

# Parameters needed are as follows:

# 3 - Current username (supplied by Casper so we don't worry about this one)
# 4 - Server FQDN address
# 5 - Sharename
# 6 - Share type

# Check to see if the parameters have been populated properly and fail if not.

user=ls -l /dev/console | cut -d " " -f 4

if [ "$4" == "plexmini.sch.org" ]; then echo "Error: Missing server name in policy. e.g. inf-server.arts.local" exit 1
fi

if [ "$5" == "PodCast" ]; then echo "Error: Missing share name in policy." exit 1
fi

if [ "$6" == "afp" ]; then echo "Error: Missing share type in policy. Valid types currently are: afp / smb" exit 1
fi

# All done, finally mount the share

sudo -u $user /usr/sbin/jamf mount -server $4 -share $5 -type $6

Hi Tommyday, did you ever get this to work?

Sorry @psherman this fell off the radar as the need was very low and other projects were of more importance, combined with the decreased use of file shares, I am no longer really working on getting this to work.
