SMB shares on Windows, access from i5/OS (OS/400), access rights

We are running SAP R/3 on i5/OS.
We would like to access, from SAP, files on a Windows server, through SMB (Windows file sharing).
In other words:
The SMB server is the Windows machine.
The SMB client is the i5/OS machine.
This is different from the situation with a Windows application server and an i5/OS database server.
We have some problems with the access rights.
We manage to give access to user PRDOFR, but that does not help for accesses from the SAPsystem, because the SAPsystem runs under user-ID PRD02.
How can we solve this?
If we cannot solve this, we may have to consider NFS: an NFS client on i5/OS and an NFS server on Windows (but NFS is "foreign" to both platforms).

Hi Erick,
... then you should tell us this point ... (or might want to read the post steps in the inst docu ...)
up to 6.40 this password is always :sapnnpwd (where "nn" is the instance number)
as of 7.0 SR1 with the master password, it should be the master password, that you selected during the installation. You can test this with logging on with this user. You might be kicked out immediately but this is different to the message: password wrong ...

Can't connect to SMB share on Windows server from only ONE mac

I have over 20 macs on my network. All are running the same version of the OS. (10.4.9) Almost all of the macs can connect, using SMB, to our Windows 2000 file servers...but only ONE of them can not. When I try from that mac, I get the following error:
"The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "smb://myservername" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)"
This same mac that has this issue can connect to any of our other Win2K file servers and all my other macs can connect to the server that this mac can't...which is very confusing for me because that tells me that the mac is fine and the Win2K server is fine as well...
Any ideas?

-36 is a bit generic, but usually means the Windows® machine is denying because of bad Password. Have you tried deleting that particular reference/share in Keychain Access and redoing it?

IDCS2: Can only open an .indd Ready Only from smb share on Windows Server

Is there any way to save an open .indd document back to a smb share on a Windows server? I know the preferred Abobe method is to drag the file from the server to the desktop, edit it there, then close InDesign and drag the file back to the server. I first encountered this problem when I moved the shared publishing folder from an NT 4 server to 2003 Server which didn't support afp shares. As long as I kept my OS X Macs from updating past 10.4.0, I could still save back to the Samba share on the Windows sever.
Recently, I moved everything again to a Windows 2008 Active Directory domain server. After fixed the whole "digitally sign communications' security settings problem so my Macs could actually connect, I found I could no longer automount server volume by dragging the into Logon Items.
Letting my G5 Macs update to OS 10.4.11 fixed that, but now I can't save back to the server from inside InDesign again. I'm dealing with students (and instructors) and presenting them with a convoluted procedure for opening and saving files and saying blame it on Apple/Microsoft/Adobe doesn't fly too well. It's been about three years, please tell me there is a fix or a better workaround.

Since upgrading to Mac OS 10.6.8 I can't connect to a smb share on Windows Server 2003r2

Hi recently i upgraded from Mac OS 10.5.8 to Mac OS 10.6.8 on a 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro 1,1.
Prior to upgrading to 10.6.8 i had a viable connection to a Windows Server 2003r2 which hosts Pre-press client and all out work files as well as client applications. Now I can not connect to the server. I can ping the server. I can connect to another SMB share on different Windows Server 2003r2 that is our secondary server, but i can not connect to the primary. The Client software is associated with data base tracking the data.
This share does not show up in my volumes but I have a Max Host File with the share defined.
Can anyone come up with a solution to this. I have contacted my support for the Server 2003r2 Client software but they don't have a solution beyond clean installing the computer.

SMB shares die after waking from sleep mode

When my Macbook is freshly booted, I can access the SMB shares on my linux server just fine. The fun starts when the computer is put to sleep and then awakened. About 50% of the time, the shares on my server are inaccessible after waking from sleep. When I click on the server in the Finder, it just says it's connecting and sits there. Not only are the shares inaccessible, but the server cannot be "ejected" (Item in use). Plus, the system cannot be rebooted nicely. It just hangs with the spinning wheel until I ctrlcommandreset the thing. Other services on the server remain accessible from the Macbook after samba dies (iTunes library, FTP). Occasionally, the shares will come to life if I sleep/wake the computer again, but that is rare.
Tiger worked fine with the same server, it wasn't until the 10.5 upgrade that I began having trouble. I called Apple tech support about the issue, and waited 2 weeks for them to tell me to "install Bonjour on the server." I have formatted and reinstalled Leopard more times than I care to count, but the problem always remains. I've been dealing with this for almost a YEAR now and am totally desperate for a solution. Has anybody ever heard of this before?? The server is running Clarkconnect (Centos derivative).

Hi Gary,
This behavior is not a Safari issue but system related.
Close all applications an run in utilities> disc repair permissions.
After you done reboot an see what happens when your Mac gets to sleep mode again. This time don't open any applications to test it. Just leave it showing your desktop.
Post back with the results ...

Windows 7 Guest Access to SMB Share

I have a 10.8 server setup. I have a share that is available via both AFP and SMB. I have guest access turned on. Why can't I access this share as a guest using Windows 7? Am I doing something wrong?
Windows 7 client is bound to an AD domain, but the Mac Server is not, it is stand alone.
How can I access the guest SMB share with Windows 7 client?
Thanks!

If lagagnon's suggestion doesn't work, I would say try this:
[global]
client lanman auth = no
client ntlmv2 auth = yes
Where I work we are on an Active Directory in which *only* NTLMv2 is allowed to authenticate, and Samba clients must explicitly set "client ntlmv2 auth = yes" in order for them to connect to shares.

Copy file from SMB share to Desktop permissions

I have connected to a SMB share point (Windows Server)and copy a file to my desktop (Mac OS X 10.6.4).
The file on my desktop shows I have the read and write access, however, everyone has no access.
I could not get the system administrator to change on the server side. Is it possible to make any changes from my machine to make at lease every has read only access?
Thanks in advance.

I downloaded D2KWUtil from the link suggested by you. It has very nice example demo form. But the documentation provided says following
Using D2KWUTIL in Web Deployed Applications
The use of this library is not supported with Web deployed applications.
In a web deployment scenario not all functions within D2KWUTIL will work. Any function that interacts with the User Interface (such as those in the WIN_API_DIALOG package) will fail.
Any interaction with the O/S by other functions will all be executed on the NT server and will act within, or return information pertinant to, the environment on that machine. For instance GET_COMPUTER_NAME will return the Server’s name, not the name of the computer that the Client browser is running on. Likewise COPY_FILE will copy files in the Forms Server not on the Client.
Functions such as those in WIN_API_BITOP will continue to work without change.
so this will not work in web deployed application.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

SMB Share with Access Based Enumeration & Mac OSX 10.8/10.9

Hello,
I've been working on a bit of a problem related to some SMB Shares on Windows Server 2012 with Access Based Enumeration with Mac OSX 10.8 & 10.9.
Basically, we have one network share that mounts for all of our Students & Faculty on campus. Then, based on which security group the user is inside of in Active Directory, they gain access and visibility to different folders. (Basically, if they are members of the graphic design department, they get access to the Graphic Design's folder). All of that is working fine, no problems. From there we have 3 folders that branch off. We have a Distribution, an Open, and a Dropbox folder.
Distribution is setup as a spot for instructors to have full access, students have read access, They're able to drop files into this locations, to distribute them to their students. This folder is working fine, no problems.
Open is setup with everyone read/write access across the board. This folder is setup for students to share data to each other, work on projects, etc. This folder is working as intended, no problems.
Dropbox is the only folder we're having trouble with, i'm assuming because it's settings are the most complex out of the three. The purpose of the drop box is for students to have read/write control over their own content, but not others, and instructors to have read/write over this entire folder.
Now that I've laid out our Setup, the problem we've encountered, is ONLY occurring inside of the Dropbox folder. When I try to Drag/Drop OR Copy/Paste from another location on the computer into the Dropbox folder, I get a permission error. HOWEVER, if I have a file open, and I click "save as" browse to the dropbox folder, I can save the file into that location without any trouble. Also, on our windows computers, with the same exact users, drag/drop & Copy/Paste work normally.
Things I've Tried:
Disabling the .DS_Store - I figured in the drop box, the .DS_Store would be created by the first user who copied a file in, then subsequent users would not have access to the .DS_Store.
CIFS/SMB1 - I've read that SMB2 can cause some trouble while connecting to SMB Shares, so I tried both connecting via CIFS, and also by forcing back to SMB1, with no fix.
Am I missing something with this? I've read a lot about people having trouble connecting to SMB Shares, but for us it had not been a problem up until this point. Does anyone know what a possible fix might be for this? I'm sifting through internet searches right now, trying to find a solution, however MOST of the responses I see are regarding the two things I've already tried.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Can't access smb shares after 10.9.5 upgrade

After the upgrade to 10.9.5 (from 10.9.4) I can not anymore access my smb shares on a NAS server (Thecus N3200PRO) dispite the upgrade says that it "improves the reliability of accessing files located on an SMB server". It had the exact opposite effect with my system.
The NAS server is visible, but after I log in no files or folders are shown (finder window is empy). Also to disconnect the smb share it takes much longer than usual.
To access it with cifs protocol does not help, neither.
Also the workaround by Reinfire (Michael Larson in Can't connect to SMB share after upgrade, to use smb1 instead of the upgrade) does not help at all.
Any solution out there?
-- thanks

hi there,
just a wild guess, but have you tried to connect via Terminal?
/sbin/mount_smbfs //userid:password@ip-of-server/name-of-share
or
/sbin/mount_smbfs //userid:password@dns_name-of-server/name-of-share
You need to have administrative privileges on your Mac to execute said command successfully.
For additional information you can enter (while in Terminal):
man mount_smbfs
and
man nsmb.conf
Glad to hear the problem is solved

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Just thought I'd post this in case it helps someone. This could be the same problem we have (had) here so try this:
When it asks for name and password put this in the name field: sharename\name
So if the share is called "WWW" and your login name is "Bob" you'd put "www\Bob" in the name field and then normal password in the password field.
Works perfectly for us. I cant remember when it started 10.7 or 10.8 but this was the only solution. Hope it helps someone else!

Why do I get "Unknown user name or bad password" on Windows 7 when trying to connect to an SMB share on my Mac?

Before installing the update to 10.7.3 I could connect to an SMB share on my Mac from Windows 7 but I can't any longer. When I try I get the error "Unknown user name or bad password" on the Windows 7 system.
When I try to connect using the "net use..." command I get the error: "System error 86 has occurred".
Does anyone know how to resolve this? What really confuses me is that it was working fine until I installed the update to 10.7.3.

Check the Wins Tab in the Advanced section of Network in system preferences.
If you don't have the same workgroup name and the correct NetBIOS name showing up in the WINS tab you will get the Bad username or password.
I know I deal with this everyday.
There is something wrong with Lion and it does not automatically fill in those entries in the WINS tab.
What I have to do on every reboot/startup is open System preferences go to Sharing and uncheck File Sharing then recheck it. That will fill in the WINS tab entries.

Reading an SMB Share Without Mounting

I'm sure hte answer to this must be incredibly simple, but when I Google, almost every link is about mounting SMB shares.
I want to be able to read an SMB share on another system from the command line WITHOUT mounting the share.
For example, in Windows, I can type "dir \\servername\directory" and get a listing of the files on an SMB mount without having to mount it.
Can I do anything like that from the command line in OS X? (I tried variations, like "ls //servername/directory" and did not get anything that worked.)

There's no support for the Microsoft \\ syntax within the various tools of the command line environment.
You're using a CIFS/SMB/Samba remote access path and particularly attempting to use a feature and syntax that is specific to Microsoft Windows (that \\ stuff) and its MS-DOS command mode.
It's probably easier (and likely best) to use Filezilla or another similar tool to remotely access the share via ftp or sftp transport or another path when the GUI is required, or to use the command-level tools scp or sftp (which can be configured for a no-password login), or to use ftp (wildly insecure, and largely incompatible with firewalls), or to simply mount (or automount) the share.
Alternatively and if the other system involved here is remote and you're being blocked by a gateway firewall, then you might look to use a VPN into the remote network gateway or (less desirably) a VPN that's been port-forwarded into the remote server. That can allow the volume to be mounted, and also avoids exposing CIFS/SMB/Samba to the Internet.
The most direct command-line analog to what you're trying here is the smbclient command-line tool. For details and features and limitations of that, issue the smbclient --help command, or see the available Samba smbclient documentation. Though it can do what you want, I"d still look to use scp or sftp (directly at the command line, or via a GUI client) or a VPN here.

is there maybe a workaround possible by changing the config of smbd on the mac?
something to enable clear passwords which are used by smbfs?
seems smbd is buggy since some security patches:

http://www.psx-scene.com/forums/official-sms-forums/58197-sms-with-mac-os-10-5-l eopard-post423475.html

as a workaround I have disabled the supplied smbd and installed samba3 (3.0.29) from http://samba3.darwinports.com/
now it works, so this is a bug in 10.5.3, hopefully fixed in the next update…
