[Owncloud] Home directory mounts (Re: owncloud automount shares AD)

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Actually I just noticed the OwnCloud Enterprise Edition has something
called "Home directory mounts":
https://owncloud.com/products/enterprise

However there is no explanation what it is and anyway the price of
9000€/year is out of our reach, I could at max pay 200€/year for a
small office. I have no problems paying for OwnCloud, I really would
like to support it.

>> Hi list,
>>
>> I have searched the internet for several similar issues, but never found a solution to this. 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...
>> My goal would be to mount these shares automatically in owncloud, when the user logins in. And i don’t want to them to have to set it up in web interface previously. I see basically two approaches for getting this done:
>>
>> a) automount the shares via mount.json: here I don’t see any possibility to use arguments like the username and more important password. 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 ...
>>
>> b) using the local file access: Here I would see a lot of trouble regarding the permissions. Each samba-user has its own uid and gid, which I want to preserve for security reasons. But owncloud could only write it with the webserver-user … Also, developing a wrapper here for seems unpractical.

>> Providing an easy solution for this in the end to the community would be a bummer.
