At work I use autofs for that. If a user ls/cd/.. in a defined
directory, autofs mounts the share with the user credentials to that
place. No need for the user to enter his/her credentials or store them
in a file or something. If the user is authenticated at KDE login
against the domain via winbind, then autofs does the rest.

I've created a kickstart file and put it on the install DVD. So when
ever someone installs a new CentOS7 client, everything is automatically
there (smb.conf, autofs configs). If the machine should be a domain
member, it just has to be joined to the domain. Works great for all
Linux users at work.

Marc
