Mount Windows user share folder at login

[guimenez]

i need to always mount the user share of my Windows server at Ubuntu login.

Can anyone help me on this please?

This is my server struture:

Server
|-Group1
| |-user1
|
|-Group2
|-user2


i’ve found that i need to configure pam mount and i have this example:

<volume user="user" fstype="smbfs" server="krueger" path="public"
mountpoint="/home/user/krueger" >

but i don’t know what to change relative to my server folder struture.

thanks

many thanks

IM pretty sure your server isnt called "servername.domain.local" and the mountpoint where you try to mount it is not a valid path either. It should be something like '/home/yourusername/windows_share'.

Anyway, there is probably a much easier solution. In the main menu go to Places, then "Connect to server,..", select "Windows share" as service type. Fill out the appropriate fields (server is required, and you probably need to fill out the share name too). Then check the "add bookmark" box and give it a sensible name..

thanks for replying

my home path is /home/likewise-open/DOMAIN/user

and the user is always changing and i need to mount it automatically without specifying the username

my server name's: SERVER
my domain: DOMAIN.LOCAL

Inside the SERVER i have 2 folders group (GROUP1 and GROUP2) and inside them i have USER1 and USER2

please, can you help on what i need to change in this code:

<volume
user="*"
server="servername.domain.local"
path="UserShares"
mountpoint="home"
fstype="cifs"
/>

<cifsmount>mount -t cifs //%(SERVER)/%(VOLUME)/%(USER) %(MNTPT)/%(USER) -o "user=%(USER),uid=%(USERUID),gid=%(USERGID)%(b efor e=\",\" OPTIONS)"</cifsmount>

thanks for your help.

i need this a lot, and after making this working, i will make a tutorial for everyone needing this

Im throwing the towel Im afraid. Cant get my head around cfis and too many conflicting resources. I hope someone else chimes in.

Let me just toss you this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1040514

I know its a different approach, using fstab, but the info about mounting it verbose to see what happens and perhaps the fact mount.cifs requires 'username' rather than 'user' might apply. I honestly dont know.

My GUI approach should still work though. If this is for 2 rather than 200 users.

[guimenez]

the main problem of fstab its that i need to make credentials to all users and i have more then 100 users

i'm lost now

thanks

[guimenez]

i'm using now this commands in pam_mount.conf.xml

<volume fstype="cifs" server="SERVER" path="Group1/%(DOMAIN_USER)"

but always fail to mount

please, can someone help me?

thanks

[guimenez]

I've finally found the solution!!!

the main problem was the server name, i need to put the IP and now it works flawless
