  4. When you are asked for your credentials, enter the username as: engr.colostate.edu\<my_user_name>
    (e.g., engr.colostate.edu\johndoe).
  5. Enter your Engineering password.
  6. Click OK to finalize the drive map. It can take up to a minute for the drive to map. If you want to map another drive, you can repeat this process starting at step 2.

Mac OS X

Linux

  1. You will need to have the packages "cifs-utils" installed. For Ubuntu, this can be done from the command line: sudo apt-get install cifs-utils or from the package manager.
  2. Create a local mount point on your machine for each drive you are wanting to mount.
    For example, if you are wanting to mount the U: drive, you could create a folder in you home directry called engrhome as the local mount point: mkdir engrhome.
  3. Then use the desired drive information from the "Drive Mapping Path Generator" section above for the remote mount point.
    sudo /sbin/mount.cifs <remote_mount_point> <local_mount_point> -o user=<my_engr_user_name>,domain=engr.colostate.edu,uid=<my_local_linux_username>,rw,sec=ntlmv2

    NOTE: Replace <my_engr_user_name> with your Engineering username and replace <my_local_linux_username> with the local user account on your machine.
  4. Enter your sudo password as needed.
  5. Enter your Engineering password.
