Question on Active Directory Authentication

[Christian Lutz <christian.lutz-EnyPcy3oyxIb1SvskN2V4Q@public.gmane.org>]

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 
username=my.upn.prefix-d7gQ9grfmP4pBLzJVN3leg@public.gmane.org,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
