Can't access Alfresco CIFS from Win 2003 server and clients

Hi all,I setup my Alfresco server trying both 3.4.d and 3.4.e versions both I can't access to the CIFS server from the clients of my Windows 2003 Terminal Server. I get access only from stand-alone PCs of the AD domain.I'm able to access to Alfresco from XP-Pro and Win-7 stand-alone PCs in complete

Don't really know, but one thought… are the 'stand-alone' PCs and thin-clients/Term Serv in the domain "INTRANET"? Perhaps a fall-back is needed, like this? Caveat, I'm not using AD, but rather LDAP.

You have:

# fix subsystems\Authentication\passthru\passthru-authentication-context.properties
passthru.authentication.domain=INTRANET
passthru.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=administrator

Here is what I have - note the 2nd line, where if the machine in question can use the fallback IP of the machine if they dont' match the "DOMAIN".

passthru.authentication.useLocalServer=false
passthru.authentication.domain=MY_DOMAIN_NAME\\servername.host.com,192.168.1.5
passthru.authentication.servers=192.168.1.5
passthru.authentication.guestAccess=false
passthru.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=Administrator,admin
#Timeout value when opening a session to an authentication server, in milliseconds
passthru.authentication.connectTimeout=5000
#Offline server check interval in seconds
passthru.authentication.offlineCheckInterval=300
passthru.authentication.protocolOrder=NetBIOS,TCPIP
passthru.authentication.authenticateCIFS=true
passthru.authentication.authenticateFTP=true

Sorry, no other ideas.

Hi gynice ! Thank you for your reply…..

Yes, the 'stand-alone' PCs and thin-clients/Term Serv are in the domain "INTRANET", the same of the server 2003 and thin clients and Alfresco's server.

About your suggest:
passthru.authentication.useLocalServer=false
passthru.authentication.domain=MY_DOMAIN_NAME\\servername.host.com,192.168.1.5
passthru.authentication.servers=192.168.1.5

Note that, to setup the passthru authentication, Alfresco's directives stated that the three properties are mutually exclusive. For example, to set the passthru.authentication.servers property, set passthru.authentication.domain to be empty and passthru.authentication.useLocalServer to be false.

So, I'm using the below properties …

passthru.authentication.domain=INTRANET
passthru.authentication.useLocalServer=false
passthru.authentication.servers=

… and this is ok per stand-alone PCs.

Thank you !
