Connect to server/Mount Volume not honoring user in URL

I connect to an SMB share on a Windows server in a domain using a particular domain user, for example smb://user1@myserver1 . I then connect to a different server in the same domain with a different user, for example smb://user2@myserver2 . The SMB mounter in OS X 10.7 ignores the user specified in the second URL, and instead uses the user from the first mount point instead. This is very troubling for people that have to connect to different servers with different users. I've verified that this is what actually happens by mounting an SMB share on a Windows server, and then viewing the Open File Sessions in the Computer Management snap-in. Rather than seeing the user that I specified in the URL (user2), I'm instead seeing the user that I initially used to connect to a completely different server (user1).

As I said I never used this before Lion and I don;t have any smb shares to test on but this is what I've found which may be of help:
The following workflow connects to my MB from an iMac:
Notice that the MB name is administrator's MacBook with a space and an apostrophe. Notice the %chars for the space and the apos so I don't think that the %20 for the space in your case is causing the problem.
When I tried this by entering afp://administrator's MacBook it failed. The error message showed the special chars converted as in the url that worked what was missing was the everything after the _ in the name.
When I did a connect to server in the Finder and selected Recent servers from the pull down and selected administrator's MacBook the url in the action above was shown. I copied the url from the server address line and pasted into the Automater action.
This might be of some help in your case at least it might show if the %20 is really causing the problem.

  • Email security Q: Connection to server succeeded; login not required

    Hi everyone
    I ran the Mail Connection Doctor on my mac at home this morning as I was having trouble sending an email.  One of my email accounts (SMTP) has come back with:
    "Connection to server succeeded; login not required. "
    I am just wondering what that means security wise? As it is my work email I am a bit worried that perhaps the IT people didn't set it up right? They've been having a lot of trouble with someone spoofing the boss's email too. 
    Does that mean that anyone who knows this email servers details can just use it?  
    All my other email accounts come back with "Connection and login to server succeeded". 

    Dear Samir,
    In order to try to resolve the issue, please do the following steps :-
    1. Go to Add/Remove Program --> Uninstall SAP Business One Client.
    2. Go to C:\Program Files\SAP, then take a backup of the SAP Business One Folder and
        then delete the SAP Business One folder.
    3. Go to Start --> Run --> %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\SAP\
        Then delete the SAP Business One Folder.
    4. Now reinstall the SAP Business One Client application from the B1_SHR.
    Now you can login and enter all the details information and then log out from SAP Business One
    application. You can open the application again and check this issue.
    Note : Please make sure that the Windows user has read and write access to the above two folders
              as per step (2) and (3).

  • MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.1) calendar continues to "connect to server" and will not allow shut down or restart. Force quit worked. How can I make this calendar "behave"?

    MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.1) calendar continues to "connect to server" and will not allow shut down or restart. Force quit worked. How can I make this calendar usable? The problem began after I updated to Maverick.

    babowa, it seems like it is using Fuse & NTFS, so I don't think it's the classic WD + 10.9 mess, but extra WD tools & drivers can still break things MtTran.
    MrTran, if you must use unsupported disk formats on your Mac you must also consider actually paying the developers that made the trial software.
    It's probably a good idea to follow the developers removal instructions, reboot & then install one tool at a time.
    MacFuse, FuseOSX, NTFS-3G are all likley to confict if you run older versions so you need to be sure you are using the latest version. I can't remeber which one depends on the other, so you will need to read the manuals.
    When the disk is readable copy the data to another disk. You could probably do this from a Linux distro or Windows if OS X won't do it.
    If you insist on only using the trial versions you will need to reinstall Mac OS, copy data off this disk & reformat it.
    Is there any good reason for not using the Mac HFS extended format?

  • When it starts setting up the trial, it says "trying to connect to server" and will not go any farther in the process. I have left it for multiple hours, yet it never works. I need help!!

    I already stated the problem above, but I am able to download the file. Yet, when I try to begin the setup it says "trying to connect to server" and does not do anything else. I need help to finish the set-up!

  • OS10.6x - Connect to Server as 2 or more users at same time

    Our office uses a mac-mini as a server running Mac OS10.6.x Server to support 10-15 users (all OS10.6.x).
    Most of the staff only need to connect to our main shared volume / file store (shared point) using a standard login name + pass
    (eg all staff login as <general_user>)
    We also have another file store on the same shared volume for more restricted files which can be accessed by a restricted login name (eg managers can login as <restricted_user>)
    Sometimes I need to access those restricted files from from a computer already connected as <general_user> so it would be useful to have 2 different connections (with different user names) to the server/ shared volume at once.
    ie. connect to the server as <general_user> and <restricted_user> at the same time from single computer
    eg.
    A Staff_Member has general access to the server (or shared volume).
    They are working on a report which they have asked me to review - we do this together on their machine (which is currently connected as <general_user>)
    While reviewing the report, I need to access other information which is of a restricted nature - say select figures from an account etc - that I want to copy and past into the document.
    I want to be able to connect to the server as <restricted_user> temporarily, open the report and then copy and past info into the current document.
    Is this possible.
    It seams that you need to disconnect user one before connecting as another user, however this is not always possible to eject a volume as a task may not allow this (where it is utilised by a application task?).
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks
    Pete

    The start transaction model didn't Fit well with all the process we are doing, but the idea of locking or holding the other users seems to work pretty fine, we are now using a flag to determine if someone is doing the process and put in hold the new ones.

  • Mounted Volume not shwoing up with Windows 2012 R2 failover cluster

    Hi

  • Mount volume not working in 10.4.6

    Could someone please explain why this script does not work in 10.4.6?
    tell application "Finder"
    activate
    mount volume "afp://192.168.1.100/thesharetomount"
    end tell
    Works fine in 10.3.9 but 10.4.6 gives error "some object was not found"
    Thanks for any info

    Managed to figure out a trick to get around this problem.
    I added user name to the mount command
    tell application "System Events"
    set myuser to get full name of current user
    end tell
    tell application "Finder"
    activate
    mount volume "afp://" & myuser & ":@192.168.1.100/sharetomount"
    end tell
    Now it works but can't figure out why it does not without giving a user name?

  • "connecting to server" dialog will not go away

    When I connect to a server on the local network at work, it is successful at connecting, but the "connecting to server" dialog with progress bar remains up. It will go all day long, and even persist after I have disconnected from the server, put the computer to sleep and woken it back up, etc. It has no effect that I know of, aside from being ANNOYING

    Have you tried making a new User, logging in under that one, and see if it happens there yet?

  • Connect to server button does not work

    I have a G5 running os 10.4.10. When I go to connect to server, I type in the ip address and then click connect, the radio button turns blue but nothing happens after that. We have other Macs in this building but they don't have this problem. We have cleared the keychain, added another user in the accounts and a dozen other things but nothing works.

    Hi mariosx,
    What you can do is check for your configuration settings in One touch access. Select the appropritate modem and your network operator. For more clarifications just have a look of following blog : which may be useful to you...

  • Mounted Volume Not Showing On Desktop or Sidebar

    Our company uses a Mac Mini running OS 10.10 Yosemite to share files. File Sharing is setup to share contents on the Mac Mini with other Macs and PCs. Sharing is working fine. However, in the last couple days when logging into the Mac Mini the mounted volume (Mac Mini) no longer shows on the desktop, sidebar or when accessing the client hard drive. In order to access the Mac Mini after mounting via log in an alias to the Mac Mini needs to be created and access via the alias. Folders from the Mac Mini can be added to the side bar and accessed that way, but the main folder for the Mac Mini is only accessible through the alias. Preferences in the Finder are set to show mounted volumes and servers on the desktop.
    Computers accessing the Mac Mini are running OS 10.6, 10.9, 10.8.

    Check the settings in the General tab of the Finder's preferences.

  • Mounted volume not seen by Finder

    I have 2 AFP shares on the same volume of a G4 Xserve (10.4.8, but problem has been going on for at least a couple updates), with different permissions (Open Directory users, ACLs).
    I've run into a problem fairly frequently lately where users with access to both shares can access only one (on various models running 10.4.7 and 10.4.8). Both shares are still mounted -- I can them through the terminal -- but for some reason the Finder doesn't see them both. I have to umount the unseen share and reconnect before it works again. This is driving me crazy. Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions as to why it might be happening? Thanks for any information!
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanks for the response, Jeff. Relaunching the Finder doesn't do it. Any other thoughts? I don't see anything weird in the AFP logs on the server, but since so many different clients are having the issue, it seems as though that's probably where the problem lies...
    next time this occurs, try relaunching the finder
    (option-click Finder in the dock)
    I have seen where volumes are mounted in /Volumes but
    don't appear in the Finder. A Finder relaunch
    resolves it. This certainly isn't a fix, but could be
    one step in narrowing down the issue.

  • Cannot connect to SERVER. Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\user'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error 18456) - SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2

    I've seen multiple blogs and forums with similar problems and SQL 2012 or 2008. But no solutions that work for me.
    I have installed SQL Server in mixed mode (SQL and Windows authentication). I can create new Login accounts in either mode. However, I cannot get an AD security group Login account to work. I am trying to add group 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' or 'SERVER\Administrators'
    as a Login so that any of the domain's administrator accounts can open SQL Server Management Studio and act as an 'sa' account on this server.
    I have deleted the SQL account 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins'.
    I have restarted SQL.
    I have restarted the Win2K8r2 server.
    I have launched SSMS as Administrator from the desktop of SERVER.
    I have launched SSMS as another user (and used 'DOMAIN\user' to lauch it) from the desktop of SERVER.
    I can create a login account named 'DOMAIN\user' (who happens to be a member of the 'DOMAIN\Domain Admins' group) and give this account 'sa' security, and when I do that, this account works as expected...
    How do I add a security group as a Login account and give all members of that group the ability to be an 'sa' account?

    Hi geoperkins,
    Are you getting the following error message?
    Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 11
    Login failed for user <Domain\user>. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error.
    If that is the case, the issue could be due to that the Windows login has no profile or that permissions could not be checked due to UAC. Please disable UAC firstly and check if it is successful to log in SQL Server.
    Another reason could be that the domain controller could not be reached. You may need to resort to re-creating the login. Create a new group in AD, add users to the new group, then add the group to the local admin group and create login for the group in SQL
    Server.
    There is a connect item describing similar issue for your reference.

  • Can I use Remote Desktop Connection (windows server 2008) even if no user is logged in?

    I'm configuring a Server, running Windows Server 2008, to be accessed remotely. Suppose no user is logged in in the server (if it was just turned
    on, for instance). Can I use the "Remote Desktop Connection" feature to log in remotely in this case? Or is it always necessary to have a user locally logged in, to remotely log in to one of the users available?

    If its a fresh installation, RDM might not work at first.
    1. You need to check firewall and allow Remote Desktop. To be specific, communication to port 3389 TCP
    2. Right click My Computer --> Properties --> Remote tab
    Enable Remote Desktop
    Allow connections to this computer
    Click users and grant the permissions for the users. By default, Administrators do have the permission. An also, the users who are members of the 'Remote Desktop Users' security group also have the permission

  • Suddenly cannot connect to server "you do not have permission to access the server"

    I am one of only two Macs in our office.
    Up until now I have been able to connect to our shared folders/server just fine. Occasionally and randomly I would seem to get booted off, but would just log back in.
    Now suddenly I get "Connection Failed You do not have permission to access this server".
    I seem to get it whether its cifs, afp or smb.
    After it denies the connection it also boots me from email. As soon as I cancel the attempt to connect the email recognizes my password again.
    I have tried rebooting, repairing permissions and having our network admin change my password and nothing seems to work.
    If I enter an incorrect pw it recognizes it as such. I only get the above message when I use the correct username and PW.
    Additionally if I go to the other mac in our office I am able to connect using the same credentials without any problem.
    This is via ethernet.

    i also got the same problem on my ipad i have tried every thing i dont knw hw to fix this problme any solution. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????

  • Connection to server via smb not working

    hi,
    i have an old G4 iBook 10.3.9 that i'm using for school. to connect to our school server for course material, we were given smb log-in instructions from our it dept. when i put in the ip address, i get a prompt for the id and password, but i cannot get access. we tried logging on with my professor's macbook pro (10.5) and it worked flawlessly.
    i've done all software updates and rechecked the procedure dozens of times, but i can't figure out why it's not working. if anyone has an idea, i'm all ears.
    thanks,

    created in my UTF-8 Mysql DB your table and inserted a record; the select shows:
    SQL> select * from "movieclass"@mysql;
    idClass
    ClassName
    123
    H e l l o
    As you can see the content is there, the "space" between the letters is related to unicode. Each character is interpreted by 2 bytes and SQL*Plus wrongly displays both. Using iSQLPLus or SQLDeveloper does not show the "space" between the letters.
    Here the data type mapping:
