Would be great if the "Publish over CIFS" plugin would not provide its own authentication configuration, but simply integrate with the Jenkins Credentials Management. So admins can have all the credentials in one central place, and be assured that the same safety is guaranteed as with Jenkins itself.
I am actively working on this...I just have to do it for all of the publish-over plugins at the same time since most of the logic is in a shared plugin.
