Operating Systems Solaris Cannot login to SMB Server/Authentication denied Post 302984830 by Zorken on Tuesday 1st of November 2016 04:19:04 PM

I tried following a similar troubleshooting guide in the document mentioned in my first post but I will go through the one you provided as well when I get home.

Just to make sure I haven't set everything up with wrong assumptions, what would be the best "mode" for smb to run in?

As mentioned earlier this is a home server connected to a normal home router. For smb, it is mainly serving a windows computer, some music players and the occasional surfpad or mobile phone. I do not have or use any AD server or LDAP. So the Solaris machine is very much a stand alone server.
I have assumed that I should run smb in workgroup mode and use idmu.
Is this correct or should my approach be different?
How should I go about/what strategy should I have configuring smb in my use case?

SOLVED! Smilie

directory_based_mapping shall NOT be set to idmu, but to none for my usecase as a stand alone server.

I set it using:
Code:
# svccfg -s svc:/system/idmap setprop config/directory_based_mapping = astring: none

and then restarted idmap and smb and everything worked as it should immediately.

For reference to others:
I compared the smb manifest and method files against a backup of the previous installation and they were as far as I could tell an exact match.
That together with the problem seeming to revolve around credentials got me to start reading up on how smb handles logins, samba security modes and identity mapping and found a quite good samba manual/guide in the docs section at samba.org that mentioned that idmap was not relevant when running a stand alone server using workgroups.

And after that things worked itself out relatively quickly. Smilie

Thanks for the help and things to try, it really helped me look for the right clues leading up to the solution!
