[Owncloud] Folders with active directory mapping

[Drew Gibson]

Hi Ironhedge,

we use Microsoft Active Directory for user authentication and we see the 
separation of OwnCloud's storage from the home folders as a huge plus!

There are three major benefits to this for us:

     1. The files sync'd to OC act as a low maintenance, user accessible 
backup as well as a means of sharing.
          (This was one of our primary reasons for implementing OC)
     2. Only files that are needed are sync'd, hopefully not all the 
cruft that gets dumped in Windows home dirs.
     3. Lower interdependence between systems = higher reliability.

Of course, it does increase the mount of storage required but we need 
backups anyway.

regards,

Drew

My issue now is trying to get home/shared drives from Active directory to map to owncloud, is this possible? I don't care if it read only access, write access would be better but just having the ability to access the drives in the first place would be ideal.
