Well, it is not an easy thing.

Mounting has to be done as root user so it should be done either during
boot or during logon while the scripts are still running under the root
account.

A global mount that is permantent, the same for all users and does not
have to have a valid user would be the easiest to achieve. It would be
sufficient to make a custom script under
$installpath/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs

Create a "custom" folder there and put a bash script (something like
that, not tested though) there:

#!/bin/bash
mkdir /mnt/share
mount -t cifs -o username=dummy,password=xyz //$server/$share /mnt/share

That would mount the share during boot using the user account for dummy
on the server.

But, when you need those share to be mounted on a per user basis using
the credentials of that user, you will need a more complex mechanism.

That's all I can offer right now.
