Using custom auth through hardware device on Windows network map drive possible?

  • 772

I want to custom the auth method when connecting smb as a client on Windows to a linux server.

I expect to it to work like this: When connecting as a network map drive, Windows auth center will read from a specified hardware interface(eg. a com port) to get the username + password and send to the server. So there's no need to manually input username+password through keyboard. I just want to know is it possible on windows? If it is, how to configure or program the Windows auth componet? (let's say for example on win10)

windows network-share cifs windows-authentication

  1. After searching and trying some other complicate method. I finally came up with a very simple idea that works for myself: Just use the net command. The net * \\ip\sharepath /user:username password will silently map net drive. So I can create a program and read the auth key from some specific device and execute this command to mount the cifs share.
