Hi All, I’ve setup samba shares both password protected and guest folders. Guest access folder works fine from Windows 10 but i’m not able to access the password protected folders. I can see the folders and sometimes it will ask for username and password.
Here is my smb.conf
[global]
max log size = 1000
read raw = no
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
security = user
os level = 20
unix password sync = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
obey pam restrictions = yes
pam password change = yes
usershare allow guests = yes
syslog = 0
passwd chat = Enter\snew\s\spassword:* %n\n Retype\snew\s\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully$
dns proxy = no
server string = ubuntu
write raw = no
workgroup = WORKGROUP
map to guest = bad user
passdb backend = tdbsam
server role = standalone server
[Downloads]
writeable = yes
public = yes
path = /mnt/Downloads
[Secured]
path = /mnt/Share/Secured
directory mode = 777
force create mode = 777
valid users = david,@smbgrp,@sambashare
create mode = 777
writeable = yes
force directory mode = 777
[Shares]
path = /mnt/Shares/tiny
valid users = @smbgrp
browsable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
i setup both secured and shares folder to test both both fail on windows 10. I try to access from ipad and it’s good. Am i missing something on the Windows 10 side? i’ve already turned on SMB v1 to test but it’s the same.
Update:
I’ve found out that windows 10 will use your current login username to try login to Samba.
Work around,
*navigate to Samba by IP address and map drive with a different credential
or *DNS the Server to a different name
- if you already have mapped or have another guest drive, this is taken as the user authenticating.
