[Owncloud] owncloud automount shares AD

[Otto Kekäläinen]

I have the same situation and we discussed this earlier this month in
the thread: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/owncloud/2013-December/011184.html

Apparently OwnCloud has no solution for this /home or AD/Samba
integration scenario.

So basically the environment looks like the following: I have samba4 (basically AD) where all users are authenticated. Now on this samba4 server each user has got a personal share and there may be some public shares...

Also a solution using kerberos seems impossible/hard to do for me. Do I really need to mess around with the filesystem.php? This seems pretty unpractical to me ...
