Hi everybody,

just one simple question regarding the authentication of users in the mount options: Is it possible to authenticate a user with his userPrincipalName attribute and a password or are there any more dependencies to get this to work (i. e. krb5 or other security options)?

Example: mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt -o [email protected],password=PASSWORD

The only working solution was with the default sAMAccountName Attribute.

Background:
We are building a new fileservice for Windows and Linux Clients. The users are stored in Active Directory. The username (sAMAccountName) is a random string created by the Server itself. The only login attribute the user knows is his UPN (which is also the mailaddress in our case).


Thanks in advance
Christian
