* Disclaimer: I did not create (write) this script, or have I tested this well. Please change any errors or omissions in these instructions! *



1. Install SAMBA.

OPEN TERMINAL with Ctrl-T if it is not already open

   sudo -i
   apt-get update
  
   apt-get install samba

2. Create Script with adhome.pl based on article above and place in /usr/bin/adhome.pl

OPEN TERMINAL with Ctrl-T if it is not already open

   sudo -i
   nano /usr/bin/adhome.pl

2a. Copy the Shell Script into adhome.pl

  #!/bin/sh /usr/share/centrifydc/perl/run
  #This script uses ldap to fetch user homeDirectory from AD 
  #and mount/umount by smbmount and smbumount
       
  use strict;
  use File::Spec;
     
  my $zone_base = `cat /var/centrifydc/kset.zonename`; # changed va to var
        
  my $cn = `adquery user -D ${ARGV[0]} | cut -d, -f1`;
     
  my @cn = split(/\n/,$cn);
  
  my $ldap = `/usr/share/centrifydc/bin/ldapsearch -Q -H "LDAP://" -b "$zone_base"  -LLL "(@cn)" homeDirectory |  grep homeDirectory | cut -d: -f2 | sed 's:\\\\:/:g' `;
  
  my @line = split(/\n/, $ldap);
  
  if (@line )
  {
     if(${ARGV[2]} eq "mount") 
     {
  
      my $mount = `smbmount @line ${ARGV[1]} -o sec=krb5i`;
  
     }
  }
  
  if(${ARGV[2]} eq "umount" )
  {
  
   my $mount = `smbumount ${ARGV[1]}`;
  
  }
