CIFS on Windows 7 doesn't work

[leonard]

Hi Guys
recently i installed alfresco on my windows system and i installed alfresco version  4.x
and i got some issue i try to find the best answer on the web but it doesn't work out too
the case is when i tried to map network using cifs it always asking username and password
authentication but return failed

i've tried on my ftp it works but when i try cifs
it didn't work

here is my alfresco-global.properties

### CIFS CONFIG ###
  cifs.enabled=true
  cifs.domain=LEONARDOGINTING
  cifs.serverName=alfresco
  cifs.hostannounce=true
  cifs.sessionTimeout=500
  cifs.broadcast=255.255.255.255
cifs.bindto=
cifs.ipv6.enabled=false
cifs.tcpipSMB.port=445
cifs.netBIOSSMB.namePort=135
cifs.netBIOSSMB.datagramPort=138
cifs.netBIOSSMB.sessionPort=139
cifs.WINS.autoDetectEnabled=true‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

file-server.properties

### CIFS Server Configuration ###
cifs.enabled=true
cifs.serverName=${alfresco}A
cifs.domain=
cifs.broadcast=255.255.255.255
# An empty value indicates bind to all available network adapters
cifs.bindto=
cifs.ipv6.enabled=false
cifs.hostannounce=true
# Enable the use of asynchronous sockets/NIO code
cifs.disableNIO=false
# Disable the use of JNI code. Only currently affects Windows
cifs.disableNativeCode=false
# Session timeout, in seconds. Defaults to 15 minutes, to match the default Windows client setting.
# If no I/O is received within that time the session is closed by the server
cifs.sessionTimeout=900
# Maximum virtual circuits per session
# Should only be changed when using Terminal Server clients
cifs.maximumVirtualCircuitsPerSession=16‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Did i miss something?

because when i try to map using network drive
\\alfresco\Alfresco

it didn't work


thanks

any help appreciated

Please note that Windows 7 is not a supported server platform.   It works but requires some kludges.    Howeverl all you should need to change in alfresco is "cifs.enabled"

Yes you missed that windows already has a cifs service of its own.    That's why you want cifs.serverName=alfrescoA   note the A at the end it is important.

You also need to force windows to use netbios.   I do that by putting a dummy entry in the "hosts" file.    You can also do it with firewall rules.

Just to clarify what is meant by a "dummy entry" in the hosts file. it needs to be in the client computer.
I have an entry of 13.13.13.13 AlfrescoA in mine.

Yes that's a dummy entry.

I know I keep posting this everywhere, and seriously, an Alfresco MOD needs to sticky this to save on so many repeat posts.

Gives full instructions, including CIFS for windows 7. We've been running stable on the above doc that I created for nearly a year.

Can I repeat what bisana said.  It would be great if you could put your doc and knowledge into the wiki,  that's the place for it rather than forums.
