Alfresco and Samba - Could not connect to CIFS.

jdkrueger — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 09:06:10 GMT

We installed Alfresco 1.4 on SuSE 10.1. We cannot connect to CIFS. The maschine is our PDC (via Samba and OpenLDAP), too. Samba und Alfresco should use different IPs. I looks like Samba and Alfresco do not work together, because Alfresco does not accept the configuration and binds itself on the wron

Hello,

I just encircled the problem a bit. The problem ist not Samba or the IP or something - its just between Alfresco and Windows.

Why does Windows sent login details via NTLM? How can I disable this?

Dennis

Try to add these lines in the file-servers-custom.xml, it worked for me in a pre 1.4 environment. Trying to get CIFS working in 1.4.0 at the moment so it may not be enough yet…

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Filesystem Security">
      <authenticator type="passthru">
         <Server>ldapserv</Server>
      </authenticator>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks fou your answer. Ill try this. But: I dont want to use NTLM or LDAP! I just want to login via CIFS… with no whistles and bells…

Warm regards,
Dennis

jdkrueger — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 07:39:02 GMT

As I dont want to use LDAP or NTLM (yet) the problem was not solved by editing the authenticator.

Any idea how I can use CIFS?

Dennis

Hi Dennis,
unfortunately you went in the wrong direction.
The reason for your unsuccessful deployment is that
–> /webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension/file-servers-custom.xml
is overriding the file
–> /webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/file-servers.xml

And in addition the file-servers-custom.xml in the tomcat/shared/ dir is overridden by the file-servers-custom.xml in the WAR file.

So just remove the /WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension/file-servers-custom.xml
and go ahead with your config. You will see it works 😉

Regards
Heiko

I have started a thread that I hope to eventually turn into a AlfrescoWiki page for how to configure Active Directory authentication for both CIFS and the Web Interface in Alfresco Labs 3c.

Please see my thread:
[ERROR]Alfresco Engineers: CIFS auth does not work. Sugg?

Please come join in the discussion, or at least subscribe to the thread. I want to try to get everyone having these types of issues into the thread so that we can get a large collection of experiences and configurations.

We WILL find the answer for how to enable Active Directory authentication with CIFS in Alfresco!!
