CIFS-NTLM-Windows Explorer Integration

[dwild_hq]

Hi all!

I have recently installed Alfresco Enterprise for evaluation on a Windows 2003 Server, set up CIFS using the Readme, this worked fine with local accounts.

I then set up NTLM, authenticating against our local Active Directory (AD), using the document below which again worked fine through a web browser, no problem.
http://www.alfresco.org/mediawiki/index.php/Configuring_NTLM

I then tried to access Alfresco via the CIFS interface I had setup, a windows XP mapped drive.  I subsequently could not authenticate.
Should this work, is it currently supported?

I then attempted to roll back the NTLM setup by replacing the web.xml and application-context.xml files.  This did not roll back the authentication method, still authenticating against our AD. Server has been restarted since the change.

The default admin/admin account no longer working, unknown username and password.

Help please!

Hi Dave,

Could you enable debug output for the NTLM authentication code by adding the following to the log4j.properties in the WEB-INF\classes folder :-

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.smb.protocol.auth=debug
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.passthru.auth=debug

What username/password did you use when mapping the drive ?.

Cheers

Gary

Gary,

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.passthru.auth=debug does not exist, should i add this?

Enabled the following within CIFS server debugging:

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.smb.protocol=debug
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.smb.protocol.auth=debug
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.acegi=debug

Attempted to use the admin\admin password and local domain passwords.

Dave.

Hi Dave,

Those are the correct debug levels to enable. There should now be some debug output in the Alfresco.log file. It depends how you launched Tomcat/JBoss as to where the file ends up, it should be within the Tomcat/JBoss tree.

If you could email me the log file that should give some more clues as to what is going on.

Cheers

Gary
