Alfresco CIFS: still use NTLM, not Jaas

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi !

I still have problems with CIFS authentication.

I have a kerberos-Server and configured CIFS to use JAAS Authentication.

When i start alfresco, i can read "CIFS Server started" in the log.

If I try to go to the directory with \\name_a i get

14:30:03,907 DEBUG [smb.protocol.auth] NT Session setup SPNEGO, MID=8, UID=0, PID=65279
14:30:04,056 DEBUG [smb.protocol.auth] User  logged on  (type Normal)
14:30:04,059 DEBUG [smb.protocol.auth] NT Session setup SPNEGO, MID=16, UID=0, PID=65279
14:30:04,068 WARN  [smb.protocol.auth] Authentication component does not support MD4 password hashes
14:30:04,582 DEBUG [smb.protocol.auth] NT Session setup SPNEGO, MID=24, UID=0, PID=65279
‍‍‍‍‍‍

I sniffed the network traffic and saw that Alfresco still uses NTLM.

Where do I have to configure that authentication should go via Jaas ?

thanks

Hi

You need to configure CIFS to use Kerberos.
