I'd like to make an Ubuntu box member of an AD and automount home directories during login from a Samba server.

I managed to join the AD the realmd way. So I can look-up users and their passwd lines.

But I failed to automount the user homes. What I did so far:

  1. Add autofs to services in sssd config
  2. Create an automount config auto.home: * -fstype=cifs,rw,sec=krb5 ://myserver/&

I just couldn't find any instructions how to integrate autofs with realmd/sssd approach in Ubuntu 14.04. Any hints?

When I try it manually as root user (sudo -s)

kinit myuser
mount -t cifs -o rw,user=myuser,sec=krb5 //myserver/myuser /home/myuser

I get: Permission denied. Which may be due to the fact that sssd uses some hashing algorithm to calculate a user ID, while the Samba server uses some enumeration.

So actually want sssd to handle all credential stuff.

You can mount them automatically at system startup by adding entries to fstab. You have to take care to provide your user credentials, which can be done via a file in your home dir. Please find the details at: "Mounting cifs URL not implemented yet" when I try to mount a samba share
