I use Kerberos to log in to my machine, which is on a network with a Windows server. I'd like to mount some shared folders from the server automatically when I log in, but the shared folder is password protected with the same Kerberos username and password.
I can mount it manually, but I have to give it my username and password, the same ones as I use when I log in.
I'm sure I can do this in fstab, but I'd rather not put my username and password in a credentials file because I am required to change my password frequently and I don't want to hunt down every instance of it on the machine.
Is there some way to tell it to use my Kerberos username and password to give me access to the network share?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
So either there is no way to do this or I'm not being very clear. In Windows, I can search the network for the server, and then browse it or map a network drive and it never asks for a username or password because it uses the ones I logged in with. I want similar functionality in Fedora.
I need to change my password frequently through an internal website. It changes everything for me automatically, so I never have to manually change anything to access the server or my email or anything else. So, is there a way to make Fedora pass that login and password to the server for authentication?
