CIFS changes in 2.1.0 Enterprise?

[rhofkens]

Hello,

I've upgraded an alfresco 2.0.1E server to the new 2.1.0 Enterprise release.
It's a windows 2003 Server r2 Sp1 with Active Directory and Tomcat.

In the 2.0.1E release, i had configured ldap sync and authentication with the AD.  This worked perfectly fine for both the web client and CIFS (using passthru).

Now I'm using the same configuration for 2.1.0, but only the sync and web client authentication work.  CIFS keeps telling me "login unsuccessful" when i try to map a network drive.  I've enabled CIFS logging and curiously, there are no errors in the logs:

Any ideas what's going on?

Hi,

It does look a bit odd as the passthru logon indicates it was successful.

Could you check if there are any CIFS connections to the Alfresco server on the client using 'net use', if there's a connection to the IPC$ share then delete it with 'net use \\<alfresco-srvname>\IPC$ /d'. Then try the connection again.

Cheers

Gary
