Hi Smitha, When you are mounting a Windows share, do you mean that you are using Samba software to access the Windows server? I do not believe that ManifoldCF ever accesses the files in Windows directly under this setup; it goes instead only through the CIFS share, and talks only to the CIFS software. But when you access the Windows share directly, then you are talking directly with the Windows server(s) via jcifs. It is clear that the manner in which jcifs is accessing your Windows server is not being authenticated properly. This is no doubt due to differences in the Samba software and the jcifs software. There may easily be authentication differences, given that. And we've noted in the past that all Windows servers do not accept credentials in the same form.
My suggestion: Modify your credentials for your connection to see if you can get a direct windows connection to work properly. Try: -- leaving the domain blank, and adding "@domain" to the user name -- experiment with a fully-qualified domain name (e.g. domain.com) and a non-fully-qualified one (e.g. domain) -- leave the domain name off entirely, and just supply the user name -- fully upper-case the domain name If none of these help, you will need to debug why it isn't working and request a fix from the jcifs maintainer. The jcifs library ManifoldCF uses is not maintained by us; the author and maintainer is Michael Allen ( [email protected]). Mr. Allen does not usually address issues of this kind without financial compensation, however, so be prepared to pay his contract rate to work out the problem. You should also be prepared to do wire captures of a working system and the ManifoldCF connection, and provide those to Mr. Allen.
