Configure port for CIFS passthru servers

I have a problem configuring alfresco to use a samba passthru server.

At this time, there's no way to tell alfresco what are the ports ports in wich the passthru samba service is running, so alfresco looks for the default ports (net bios:139, nativesmb:445).

Samba is flexible, so we can configure it to run on diferents ports, but alfresco does not support using a samba server running on non default ports.

I have changed som alfresco classes to make this possible. I made a contribution as shown in the link, but alfresco team haven't tell me if this contribution is gonna be accepted or not.

Anyway, this solved my problem of authenticate alfresco against a passthru server who's not running on default ports.

I hope alfresco team includes this development into the branch

Of course, the link.. http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1834

Does anybody need this functionality? Alfresco team haven't answer my jira yet; I think this is a very important functionality for Alfresco to have it.. don't you?

Smiley Very Happy That's exactly what I need. I really wish to see that contribution in the next Community Alfresco version, and I hope it comes out soon.
