Is there a way in Ubuntu 18.04 to map an SMB share when the users login without using a password file? The boxes I have are members of a Windows Active Directory domain and the users will use their domain credentials to authenticate. I want to automatically map drives for users and have the login be essentially passed from the user context like it is in Windows. I know there is the FSTAB and a way to use a password file for that, but I want to avoid making the users update that file when they change their domain password if possible.
