Either nobody uses v3.0 or nobody needs AD + NTLM + CIFS !

[karakartal]

Hello

I am checking out every release from HEAD and recompiling and facing the same following error with a big disappointment:

DEBUG [smb.protocol.auth] Authenticated user cenap sts=Disallow via Passthru

I have a working Active Directory + NTLM + CIFS configuration with Alfresco 2 but I was never able to get CIFS working with any version above v2.0

I have done the following in order to solve the problem.

I have recompiled Win32NetBIOS.dll

I have tried to get it working on Ubuntu Linux

I have tried almost every possible configuration in file-servers.xml

None of them helped…

Passthru is simply not working!

Is this a bug? Should I wait for future releases? Or am I doing something wrong?

Any ideas?

I succesfully use "alfresco" authenticator with NTLM an AD, using version 2.2.dev.

What about CIFS?  Can you also use CIFS?

[vycitalr]

Yes, I can.

[karakartal]

Would you mind posting your configuration XML's here?

[vycitalr]

There is really nothing special.

I succesfully use "alfresco" authenticator with NTLM an AD, using version 2.2.dev.

What SVN revision you build for 2.2 dev version?

[karakartal]

This seems to be pre 2.2 installation because it would complain about wrong CIFS authentication configuration etc.

[mikeh]

If it's the version I think it is, you should update it before going much further. Did you grab this build just before Christmas?

Version 2.2 dev is actually a very early v2.9 (before the version numbers changed).

Mike,

           What SVN revision number should we build for stable community 2.1.X or 2.2.x series?  Your answer would be appreciated.
