You have been subscribed to a public bug:
In Ubuntu 12.04 (and I believe ALL desktop versions newer than 10.10)
are effected by this bug.
When mounting a Windows share via Nautilus, e.g. File -> Connect to
Server -> Type: Windows Share
gvfs will FAIL on authentication unless BOTH the DOMAIN NAME and SERVER
NAME are in CAPS.
This is a major issue and will cause almost all users to fail to
authenticate. Nautilus shows no error except verify user details.
Nothing in logs. And will end up locking a Windows Domain user account.
Also for some reason the "Add Bookmark" checkbox is missing from the
mount process which makes no sense. This causes an additional usability
issue as to add a bookmark the user then needs to pull up Nautilus,
Right Click the Mount they loaded, and then Add Bookmark from there.
This process was much more streamlined (and the bug didn't exist) in
10.04.
I hope you guys can repair this soon as any mixed environment using
Ubuntu desktops and doing a common task such as mounting a windows share
in a corporate environment is broken in 12.04.
