I'm a newbie.
Install Alfresco Community 5.0.a on CentOS 6.5
All works fine.

Setup and configured Alfresco authentication using the Active Directory server as described here
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Authentication_Subsystems
http://docs.alfresco.com/community/tasks/auth-example-oneldap-ad.html

alfresco-global.properties

authentication.chain=alfinst:alfrescoNtlm,ldap1:ldap-ad
ldap.authentication.allowGuestLogin=false
ldap.authentication.userNameFormat=%s@subdomain.domain.com
ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldap://ctlrdomen.subdomain.domain.com:389
ldap.authentication.defaultAdministratorUserNames=Admin
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.principal=alfresco@subdomain.domain.com
ldap.synchronization.java.naming.security.credentials=secretpasswd
ldap.synchronization.groupSearchBase=ou=Security Groups,ou=Alfresco,dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=com
ldap.synchronization.userSearchBase=ou=User Accounts,ou=Alfresco,dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=com


Alfresco Community 5.0 Web interface works fine.
FTP authentication under username/password is OK.

But under Windows has a problem.
Windows network disk is connected to SMB/CIFS Alfresco server occurs only when I specify the username "admin" and admin password.
Share : \\alfresco.subdomain.domain.com\alfresco

If I specify a different name then the SMB/CIFS connection fails.

<strong>Question</strong>:
How can I connect under Windows to SMB/CIFS Alfresco server as simple user?
</strong>

Thanks.

I suspect the "admin" account is authenticating via alfrescoNtlm.   Your other users are authenticating via LDAP.

Unfortunaly CIFS is frequently incompatible with LDAP.   Current advice from Microsoft is use Kerberos instead.

You may also get away with using windows passthrough authentication.
