Hi baldini

have you done any configuration changes in the file-server.xml have a look at that file as well as file-server-custom.xml set your broadcast address properly as well as your authenticator type.

Thanks

Hi Jctrl,

I've "almost" solved my problem.
I've changed the authenticator to "passthru" and this message has gone.

But now, I just can authenticate my CIFS with the NT4 domain.
And I'd like to centralize all my authentications in Open Ldap.

Do you know if it's possible ?

Thanks,
Baldini.

if you have your openLDAP running correctly, it should be possible. one thing i must tell you though is that you should use the alfresco authenticator for your CIFS.

so in your file-servers-custom.xml set something like this

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystem Security" replace="true">
<authenticator type="alfresco">

let me know if that helps, i would be interested to know how you get on.

Hello,

I have the same problem, with same error.
I tried to add "<authenticator type="alfresco"></authenticator>" as ctrl suggested, but I still get the same error.

Rogerio, did you solve your problem ?
Any other suggestion ?

In Alfresco wiki, I read this :

LDAP Server :

CIFS    Not supported
FTP    (authentication service)
NFS    (user name mapping)
UI    default authentication filter
WebDAV    default authentication filter
WebServices    (authentication service)
AuthenticationService    LDAP authentication component
LDAP Sync    Optional

Does it mean, that if we activate LDAP authentication, CIFS is not able to run ? Or does this means that we have to add another way of authentication for CIFS ? => How ?

Thanks
Marine
