I use a plain text file for credentials, something like:

mount.cifs 192.168.1.107/Users/gumper /mnt/share -o
rw,noserverino,uid=1000,credentials=/etc/.cifs

where /etc/.cifs is:
username=myuser
password=mypass
domain=mydomain

In a single line would be:
mount.cifs 192.168.1.107/Users/gumper /mnt/share -o
rw,noserverino,uid=1000,username=myuser,password=mypass,domain=mydomain

PD: uid it's optional to your current user.
