Help with accessing Samba shares on external (NON-DOMAIN) webserver(s)
Hi all,
You may have seen my recent topic, where I asked for help getting some samba shares to work on our network.
Now that these are working, I move on to the next hurdle!
We have a few externally hosted (Windows Server 2008 R2) web servers which are not on our domain, but can still communicate with our network.
I can successfully browse to the samba shares on the existing (soon to be retired) solaris server from these webservers.
These web servers can successfully ping the new solaris server, but I cannot browse to the shares whether I use the server name or the IP address.
I have added the new solaris server/ip address to the Hosts file on the webservers, but this has not made a difference.
This morning I have changed the logging detail in smb.conf and have some further information, it looks to be an authentication problem.....
Example log when connecting as me from my PC (on the domain):
Example log when connecting from the webserver (MYWEBSERVER) while logged on as user WEBUSER
As I understand it, on the existing Solaris server the webservers bypass the authentication and connect to the shares as the guest user “web”. However, this doesn't seem to be working on the new server.
I did read about adding the line “map untrusted to domain = yes” to the smb.conf, but this doesn't seem to have made any difference.
I am running AIX 7.1 and currently we have samba 3.6.25 installed on the server. As it stands some AIX folders are shared that can be accessed by certain Windows users.
The problem is that since Windows 10 the guest feature no longer works so users have to manually type in their Windows login/pwd... (14 Replies)
Hi. Ive recently upgraded Samba on an AIX server to Samba 4. The aim is to allow a specific group of Windows AD users to access some AIX file shares (with no requirement to enter passwords) - using AD to authenticate.
Currently I have:
Samba 4 installed ( and 3 daemons running)

We're moving an app from a server in our domain to a server hosted by the vendor in their domain.
This app had it's own domain setup that we're authoritative for.

Hopefully someone will be kind enough to help me. I have a fileserver acting as a PDC and providing samba shares to a small network. Authentication to the PDC is via LDAP (setup using ebox) The users all have real local accounts on the server.

So I have Samba installed on my server and I have to create two shares.
Make a backup of your smb.conf - call it smb.conf.orig. Create a share called
shared that allows read and write permissions for everyone and points to
/media/shared.
Create another share called www that points to the... (1 Reply)

However, the unix mount command requires I specify the name of the share. What if I don't know the name of the share?
How can I enumerate all the shares from the samba client machine?
