Automount network volume (but with different user name)

The problem is that it by default it tries to connect with your credentials. It does this unless you specify some other credentials. Unfortunately, this problem would persist if you use the method of dragging them into your login items.

Try this script instead:

Code:

-- Define username
property username : "myusername"

-- Define shares
property mapdrive1 : "afp://" & username & "@server.example.com/share"
property mapdrive2 : "afp://" & username & "@server.example.com/share"
property mapdrive3 : "afp://" & username & "@server.example.com/share"


-- Mount Volumes
mount volume mapdrive1
mount volume mapdrive2
mount volume mapdrive3

Paste this into AppleScript Editior. Modify it to your needs and save it as an Application.

Repeat property mapdriveX and mount volume until you have as many as you need. This also works for smb, so change afp if you need to.

Remove the drives from your login items, and add this script. If you have credentials saved for the username it will automount.

EDIT: I had a typo in the script. It is correct now.

 

Yes, it is using the stored value for the username specified in the script.

As far as I know, you cannot do this with the AppleScript funcition, mount volume. You could do it using shell script and mount_smbfs. You would need to put the password in the script if you did this since Terminal does not pull from Keychain, otherwise you would have to input the password into Terminal.

It can be done in the AppleScript by shell script and diskutil. However, this requires admin privileges. Which means the script would ask for a password. Or, you would have to edit the sudoers file and give permission to the local admin to run the diskutil command without a password.
