Alfresco 4 with CIFS and Active Directory

bkildow — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:41:23 GMT

I recently did an install of Alfresco 4.a nightly on a Mac server. I have configured active directory auth, sync, and cifs. I'm able to log into cifs via another Mac, but from Windows (XP), I get the following when I connect to a network place via \\<server-ip>\alfresco.11:32:19,854 DEBUG [org

Are you trying to access from the same machine, so two separate installs. Or trying to access the mac from windows XP.

I have one Mac server in which I have installed Alfresco. I am trying to access the CIFS interface (mount as a share), from various other platforms. I have a Mac desktop that is separate from the server, that I was able to mount a CIFS share on. However when trying to mount a share from Windows XP, I got the error displayed in my original post.

It seems also that when I try to connect to the share, it will try and authenticate with the user "admin" first, then fail. Is this normal?

I now got it authentication using my username by mapping a hostname to an IP in my hosts file. Connecting to the share with a hostname instead of an IP seems to help… I think I'm getting closer. One thing I've noticed is that my server doesn't show up in my network places if I browse. So I'm thinking there might be an issue with netBIOS vs tcpipSMB, although a lot of this is a bit over my head.

Hi,

You mentioned you can access from mac, but having problem only with XP. I cannot even access from MAC, can you help me what did you do in steps to achieve this.
I am trying to access CIFS from the same MAC.

Thanks.

Additional information:

I use MAC mini server with Lion as OS. I am confused with change in port requirements and logging as root user etc.

In my alfresco I have admin user and no root user, so, I have tried everything and I am still not able to connect to the server.

Thanks for your help, anyone.

Hi,
Are the both machines 32-bit? or one 32, the other 64-bit? If so this might be the problem.
