CIFS running but authentication not working

mikee_cz

I have downloaded afresco-tomcat bundle version 1.4. After alfresco startup the CIFS server is running, netbios name registered, but I cannot pass authorization when mapping network drive.

Is it really a problem with authetication? Is it possible to turn on debbuging of the authentication?

Thanks,

I have tried Alfresco tomcat bundle version 1.3 and 2.0pre as well with the same issue. I'm not able to pass authentication while mapping network drive 😞

I have found the information in Alfresco wiki page http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Configuration and have applied the registry hack

Troubleshooting

Sometimes, when connecting to an Alfresco share, the login dialog appears several times until finally taking effect. This problem can be caused by the client connecting to the Windows file server that is running on native SMB/port 445 rather than trying to connect via NetBIOS.

Native SMB can be disabled by adding the following registry key :-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters] "SMBDeviceEnabled"=dword:00000000

A reboot is required after creating this key. Setting the value to one or deleting the registry key will restore native SMB support.

I'm not still able to log in but finally some error message is displayed:

Does anyone know what this exception means?
