Methods to mount SMB volumes as different user than one logged in as
There has to be a way, but have not found it yet.
Have tried this:
smb://username:password@server/share, or just smb://username:password@server
Using Centrify AD binding (which is working great for us).
Thanks again,
John
You need to set a mount point for the share; try creating a folder on the desktop and mounting the share to that path from Terminal. Should do the trick (I use it all the time).
Edit: FYI
mount_smbfs //user@server/share /Users/someUser/Desktop/someExistingFolderIf you want to use the GUI and don't want a clear text password entered in, just set the password as a space so that it will prompt the user for the password.
smb://username: @server
Good catch on tricking the GUI to prompt (mine prompts, but in terminal); taking it one step further, let's say you want to include this in a script that populates it for all users without pre-setting the user name - replace both user and password with a space!
smb:// : @servermount_smbfs //user@server/share /Users/someUser/Desktop/someExistingFolder
In the above example how do you specify a domain? (what's the proper syntax)
Enter your E-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
