 If you're in an AD environment, you can probably do nicely with
 mount.cifs:
 sec=krb5,multiuser
That way you don't have to deal with usernames/passwords at all.

Interesting.  Seems like a lot of setup, but it's interesting.  I didn't know SMB supported this:

That article makes it sound a whole lot harder than it is, as almost all of
that is pre done in later versions of CentOS.

You don't have to configure the upcall stuff as it's already done, you don't
need to generate a credential cache for root as it can just use the keytab,
and if you've already setup a machine to talk to AD with SSSD you've probably
done everything else.

Paired with wildcard automount entries, and you end up in a very usable setup
with minimal config.
