I'm trying to mount a Windows cifs share (shared by Windows) onto a CentOS box, per user. Users are all in Active Directory.



So, every user who logs into their Linux box should be mounting the drive with their own credentials.



A solution I found was to mount using:



mount -t cifs //servername/mylogin /home/mylogin/windows -o uid=mylogin -o gid=groupname -o credentials=/home/mylogin/winpasswd


And for the /home/mylogin/winpasswd:



username=mylogin
domain=domainname
password=password_in_plain_text


However, I don't want to manually implement this for every Linux box and every user on every Linux box. Also, I don't want users having their password in plain text anywhere. Is there a way to mount a Windows cifs share and bypass the password prompt without a password file?

  • No. That's a step I want to cut out, because doing that multiple times for multiple shares is repetitive.

    Feb 18 '16 at 3:04











  • Never test this myself, but I think there are a few things you need to do on Windows side: 1. permission the share for "everyone" access; 2. Disable the setting "Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares"; 3. Enable "Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users". But needless to say, this make your windows server extremely vulnerable.

    If the users are in AD and the Windows box is also enrolled in the domain then I suggest adding CentOS boxes to the domain as well and employing kerberos/gssapi for single sign on.
