Mounting a Windows (CIFS) file share in CentOS 7 has changed a little when using a Windows domain to authenticate.<\/p>\n

First, you need to have the cifs-util package installed. This will allow you to mount cifs\/smb filesystems.<\/p>\n

The syntax in the \/etc\/fstab has not changed, but the way the credential options are stored for domains is a little different. I use a hidden file that is read only to store the Windows credentials.<\/p>\n

\/etc\/fstab:<\/p>\n

\/\/winserver\/sharename\t\/mntpoint\t\tcifs\tcredentials=\/usr\/local\/etc\/.myfile,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0774,dir_mode=0774\t0\t0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is the change. In the past, I was able to specify the domain with the username in the credential file like so:
\n\/usr\/local\/etc\/.myfile:<\/p>\n

username=mydomain\\myusername
\npassword=mypassword\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, the domain needs to be specified on its own line like so:<\/p>\n

username=myusername
\npassword=mypassword
\ndomain=mydomain\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
