My use case seems very simple. I want to automount CIFS folder CIFS1 and CIFS2 which exist for all users on my fileserver in each user home during login on this multi-user 18.04 Ubuntu machine.



So if user1 login, i mount :



  • /home/user1/CIFS1

  • /home/user1/CIFS2.

If user2 login, i mount :



  • /home/user2/CIFS1

  • /home/user2/CIFS2.

I have an already a working mounting command to do this, using Kerberos ticket / SSSD to authenticate :



sudo mount -v -t cifs -o user=$USER,cruid=$USER,sec=krb5,uid=$UID //isilon.mydataserver/CIFS1/$USER /home/$USER/CIFS1

sudo mount -v -t cifs -o user=$USER,cruid=$USER,sec=krb5,uid=$UID //isilon.mydataserver/CIFS2/$USER /home/$USER/CIFS2


Works well, but now i want to automount these folders directly after login, with correct $USER information injected into autofs configuration.



And ... it seems impossible, i try many things, direct or indirect mapping, executable automap, without success.



The [mountpoint] [option] [location] pattern of autoconf files accept injection of environnement variable (USERS, UID, etc.) only in the option/location part.



In sudo nano /etc/auto.master i have :



/- /etc/auto.cifs --ghost


Following the sun autofs pattern for direct mounting : [mountpoint] [option] [location], my /etc/auto.cifs config contain :



/home/$USER/CIFS1 -fstype=cifs,user=$USER,cruid=$UID,sec=krb5,uid=$UID ://isilon.mydataserver/CIFS1/$USER

/home/$USER/CIFS2 -fstype=cifs,user=$USER,cruid=$UID,sec=krb5,uid=$UID ://isilon.mydataserver/CIFS2/$USER


Reloading configuration :



sudo systemctl reload autofs


During users login, this configuration create litteraly a /home/$USER/CIFS1 folder and not an /home/user1/CIFS1 or /home/user2/CIFS1 folder ...



Is there a way to obtain this behavior (mounting CIFS folder into multi-users environment : /home/$USER with $USER = user1, user2, ...) using autofs, or another method compatible with Kerberos / SSSD / CIFS authentification ?



Edit1 : I precise to readers that i cannot modify the Active Directory schema in place to use the automounting function of SSSD/AutoFS :(



Edit2 : I also try to run bash program from auto.master with program:/etc/auto.cifs , but it seems that doesn't answer to this problem because program could only return the [option][location] and not the [mountpoint] part.
