Passing User Credentials with Mount Command
My HP-UX server currently mounts a directory on a Windows 2012 server. The Windows server allows anonymous connections for RW and this configuration has worked well for years. Now, due to tightening security requirements I can't use anonymous. I also can't setup Identity Mapping on the Windows side. I'm looking for a way to pass credentials to the Windows server during the Mount operation that would allow RW permissions. Is this possible? I know I can create passwd and group files on the Windows server that would map the Unix identity but I don't know how to specify what identity is used for the Mount.
Thanks,
Joe

NAME
cupsaddsmb - export printers to samba for windows clients
SYNOPSIS
cupsaddsmb [ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user ] [ -h cups-server ] [ -v ] -a
cupsaddsmb [ -H samba-server ] [ -U samba-user ] [ -h cups-server ] [ -v ] printer [ ... printer ]
DESCRIPTION
cupsaddsmb exports printers to the SAMBA software (version 2.2.0 or higher) for use with Windows clients. Depending on the SAMBA configura-
tion, you may need to provide a password to export the printers. This program requires the CUPS or Adobe PostScript printer driver files
described below.
The -H option specifies the SAMBA server which defaults to the CUPS server.
The -U option specifies the SAMBA print admin username which defaults to your current username.
The -a option exports all known printers. Otherwise only the named printers are exported.
The -h option specifies a different CUPS server to use.
The -v option specifies that verbose information should be shown and is useful for debugging SAMBA configuration problems.
SAMBA CONFIGURATION
cupsaddsmb uses the new RPC-based printing support in SAMBA 2.2.x to provide printer drivers and PPD files to Windows client machines. In
order to use this functionality, you must first configure SAMBA (via the smb.conf file) to support printing through CUPS and provide a
printer driver download share, as follows:
[global]
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
printer admin = root
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /etc/samba/drivers
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = yes
write list = root
This configuration assumes a FHS-compliant installation of SAMBA; adjust the [printers] and [print$] share paths accordingly on your system
as needed.
CUPS POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
cupsaddsmb can use the CUPS PostScript printer drivers for Windows, which are available for download from the CUPS web site.
The CUPS printer drivers are preferred over the Adobe drivers since they support page accounting, banner pages, and page labels on all
printers. However, currently only Windows NT, 2000, and XP are supported by the CUPS drivers, so you will also need to get the Adobe
driver to support Windows 95, 98, and Me clients.
Once you have extracted the driver files, create a "drivers" directory in the CUPS data directory (usually /usr/share/cups) and copy the
CUPS files using lowercase filenames, as follows:
[Windows NT, 2000, and XP]
cups.hlp
cupsdrvr.dll
cupsui.dll
ADOBE POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS
cupsaddsmb can use the Adobe PostScript printer drivers for Windows, which are available for download from the Adobe web site
(http://www.adobe.com).
The CUPS printer drivers are preferred over the Adobe drivers since they support page accounting, banner pages, and page labels on all
printers.
Once you have extracted the driver files, create a "drivers" directory in the CUPS data directory (usually /usr/share/cups) and copy the
Adobe files using UPPERCASE filenames, as follows:
[Windows 95, 98, and Me]
ADFONTS.MFM
ADOBEPS4.DRV
ADOBEPS4.HLP
DEFPRTR2.PPD
ICONLIB.DLL
PSMON.DLL
[Windows NT, 2000, and XP]
ADOBEPS5.DLL
ADOBEPSU.DLL
ADOBEPSU.HLP
You can download and copy either set of driver files independently, and use the CUPS drivers for Windows NT, 2000, and XP while using the
Adobe drivers for the Windows 95, 98, and Me clients.
