Linux CIFS mounting/authentication error

Hello,

I'm having an issue mounting an alfresco share from a linux server.  I get the error Permission denied, However I am able to mount the share from a windows machine using the same user/pass.  I am doing

root@linsv08:~# mount -v -t cifs -o username=homepage,password=abc123 //officespace.lopeznegrete.com/officespace/  /var/www/hometest/file/officespace/

mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.2.84,unc=\\officespace.lopeznegrete.com\officespace,user=homepage,pass=********
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
root@linsv08:~#


Alfresco authenticates to active directory.  Is there something I am doing wrong or is there anything I should check?

Are you authenticating to ActiveDirectory via LDAP or passthru? Particularly if you're using passthru, is your Linux machine on your Domain (IE are you using something like winbind to make your Linux machine a part of your Windows domain?).

I'm using AD with passthru, and I can log in just fine from Linux with everything but CIFS, which fails in the same way. Have you tried FTP yet? I suspect that will work for you.

We are using passthru, but no we are not using windbind to make apart of the the domain.  Authentication into alfresco as a user seems to work fine, it only seems to be the CIFS mount that I cannot do.

I looked at FTP, however, I'm really looking for a constant connection, not just file transfers every so often.
