Issue: Documentation misalignment for mounting network shares

Describe the issue

When creating the User Drive Mapping in AD, the help on the page says by the default mounts will be done in anonymous mode, implicating that the [krb5] prefix needs to be added. However, in the online documentation it says that authentication is done with the Kerberos ticket present, indicating that there is no need to specify [krb5] and that if a the mount is done in anonymous mode - [anonymous] needs to be explicitly added as a prefix.

So I think this is a little misleading. In my environment, the drive mounts automatically on login with the [krb5] prefix. User authentication is needed to access the share and the Kerberos ticket is used accordingly.

Steps to reproduce it

• OS version: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
• Run adsysctl policy admx all
• Copy the Ubuntu.adml and Ubuntu.admx files to the AD
• Create an user policy for User Drive Mapping
