Windows File Share configuration from AIX Portal

Hi,
we want to connect a Windows file share as  KM  Repository to a portal running on AIX.
The network path is configured using jCIFS and user (DOMAIN.NET\USERNAME) is entered with password. The corresponding path is also entered in the FS Repository manager using ACLSecurity manager. A Windows System is not configured .
In the repository managers monitoring view our new repository manager shows a green button. In the KM however, it is not visible. The portal log shows the following error:
"Cannot retrieve credentials from URL for file 'DOMAIN.NET; USERNAME/' "
We tried to connect the file share with the same user/password. This worked fine.
Is there something else to configure ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Marcus

Hi,
the problem was the passwort. Using "?, %" or other special characters interpreted in a URL may not be used.
After changing password to a alphanumeric everything works just fine.

  • Issue with G4 connecting to a Windows File Share

    We have a single MAC G4 that our marketing department uses for graphic development. when we first setup the PC we were able to connect to our Windows shares on the network. For better than a year now we have had intermittent problems with connecting to our Windows file share. It would drop the TCP connection to the file share, you would need to go back a re-authenicate to the share. Two weeks ago the problem worsened, we can't connect the to Windows files share at all now. I have tried different users accounts including my own which has domain admin authority. However I have a samba file share and a snap server running on the network and I am able to connect to these machines with no issues. I suspect a configuration problem, but not sure where to look next.
    The MAC is running the following OS version and Kernel
    OS 10.3.9 (7W98)
    Kernel Darwin 7.9.0
    Any guidance would be appreciated

    I just figured it out myself.

  • Unable to Connect to Windows File Shares

    Steps I take to attempt to connect to a Windows File Share within the office. Being relatively new to the Mac, I am curious on why I am not able to connect to Windows File Shares.
    1. Command-K
    2. Server Address: smb://[server-hostname]/[sharename]
    3. Click Connect
    4. Connecting To Server..... (takes a short amount of time)
    5. SMB/CIFS File System Authentication
    - I then enter the domain, username and password
    6. Click OK
    7. Error: Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct.
    What gives? I have confirmed and validated server hostname, sharename, appropriate persmissions for windows account, etc. I have tried IP Address instead of hostname, same outcome.
    Any Ideas?

    Hi Arus, not really a Windows® expert, but I think I've seen were putting the Domain name in there fixed it, but I can't find the exact way to do it, this is the closest I could find...
    "If I try to connect to smb://domain, that's when I can authenticate. If I try smb://machine/share, I still get the error -43."

  • Windows file share, finder issues

    Hello-
    At my work we have a Windows 2008 R2 file share that our mac computers connect to. all of the mac computers have snow leopard running on them. A few times a week finder either stops responding and crashes, or cannot connect to the file share. Once the machine is restarted, it works fine for a little while. This seems to be a never ending cycle. Is there anything I can do to make the performance better on a Mac connecting to a windows file share?
    Thanks

  • How can I migrate file shares & permissions from one volume to another on the same server?

    I am replacing a storage array and as part of that process, I need to move files/folders and Shares/permissions from one Volume to another volume within the same server.
    The server is Windows 2003 file server.  The file transfers are not a problem, moving all 40 shares with permissions etc. is my main concern because in order to maintain everything I need to change the drive letter of the new volume to match the old
    one so that links to various resources throughout the network do not break.

    Hi, 
    If you want to copy files/folders from one Volume to another volume within the same server, you could use the File Server Migration Tool (FSMT) or Robocopy to accomplish your goals. The tool can move all of the files from the shares on your original volume
    to the new volume.
    For more detailed information, you could refer to the articles below:
    File Server Migration Toolkit
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.10.utilityspotlight.aspx
    The File Server Migration Toolkit (FSMT) is a free download available at:

    Robocopy
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145.aspx
    FSMT and Robocopy will not copy Share permissions but only NTFS permissions. So if the drive letter will not be changed, you can backup and restore the Share permission with steps here:

  • FIrewall for Windows File Share for windows 2008

    Hi All,
    Recently we upgraded one of our application file server from Windows 2000 to Windows 2008. We use this server for file sharing. We used to read files and write files to this server. Post upgrade one week every thing went fine all of a sudden we started seeing
    issues like the application servers stopped communicated to this server. 
    We worked with our firewall team and enabled port 445 post this the application servers started communicating to the file server. Our Application servers are on Windows 2003 server.
    Can someone please help me understand what is the port that needs to be enabled for accessing the file shares. My firewall team confirmed there were no firewalls rules between the Application server and File server. 

    Hi,
    Based on my research, firewall ports required for SMB file sharing are port 445 and 139.
    More information for you:
    SMB: File and printer sharing ports should be open

  • Windows File Share doesn't work over RV042 QuickVPN

    I have two sites, one has an RV042 and the other an RV042G, and there is an IPSec tunnel between the two.
    Windows file sharing works between these two over the tunnel.
    I have a laptop with QuickVPN Client which I use to connect to either site.
    If I connect to the RV042G site, file sharing works fine.
    If I connect to the RV042 site, I can't get file sharing to work.
    As far as I can see, both routers are set the same.
    Can anyone help here?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Give Windows file share a web address

    Just setup a shortcut with the following.
    file://[pcname]/[unc path]

    Just want to provide some background. We'd like to give a file share an internal web address (i.e. www.newfileshare.com) to be accessible from IE, Chrome, and Firefox.
    The share is on a Windows 2008 R2 server currently. All the workstations and servers are in a AD environment. I do not want to use a URI scheme. The web address will be only be for internal purposes only.
    Thank you guys in advance.

  • Quick Time Hijacks Windows File Associations Only From Web Browsers

    It took me 6 hours this morning to conclusively prove that Quick Time (latest version) isn’t playing well with web browsers on my Windows XP Pro (SP3) machine (nothing new here I guess).
    I develop web sites which get their content from local hard or DVD/CD drives (as opposed to from the internet). All my Windows file associations for audio/video file types point to Windows Media Player (WMP) so that when one of my web pages looks for a file type of say .mpg or .mp3, WMP is opened and the file is played. Pretty straight forward and has worked fine for years.
    Some time in the last few months (and I now strongly suspect after a Quick Time update) my browsers (all of them….. IE, Firefox, and Chrome) started opening Quick Time instead of WMP when my HTML goes to open any media file type. I’ve checked my Windows file associations which all still point to WMP. I also note that when I open one of my media files from a file utility such as Windows Explorer or my aftermarket file utility (as opposed to from a browser), they correctly open in WMP. So…….. its only from browsers that QT hijacks my intended media player.
    In Internet Explorer I’ve gone to “Manage Add-Ons” and “disabled” Quick Time. This in fact causes QT not to be opened but instead a blank web page appears containing only the browser’s little error box with a big red X in it which usually means a picture file is missing…… WMP is not launched even though it is enabled in Manage Add-Ons and QT is disabled.
    The only way I’ve found to fix this problem is to uninstall Quick Time in which case everything works fine. (My objection to Quick Time as my default media player is that even the latest version doesn’t reliably play video created for Windows file types.)
    Can anyone tell me how to make Quick Time co-exist on my computer without hijacking my attempts to get at WMP from browsers?
    The only reason Quick Time has existed on my computer in recent years is so I have access to iTunes. I’ve uninstalled both Quick Time and iTunes till I find a solution to this problem which means iTunes isn’t selling me anything in the mean time.

    I'm having the same issue that Quicktime hijacks file associations.
    I recently reinstalled my copy of Windows 7 64-bit and have installed basically hardly anything on it. I have however installed iTunes (+Quicktime) for my iPhone and Winamp (and not even loaded Windows Media Player).
    Basically when I uninstall Quicktime, I can just type an url in the IE8 address bar with the .mp3 extension and download and save the file there and then. Only after installing Quicktime the browser will open the .mp3 in the window and play it embedded with the Quicktime player.
    This is something I do NOT want, and I am really ****** off that Quicktime just takes over this feature without asking me first!!
    That being besides the point really because I also cannot find the option in Quicktime's settings to undo this!!
    When I go to Quicktime's settings -> Browser -> MIME types
    It just shows that .mp3 is linked to Winamp (like I want it to be), but it still opens as a Quicktime Control Object.
    Reinstalling IE8, resetting its settings, disabling the iTunes & Quicktime addons, even removing the Quicktime Control Object class from the registry... Nothing worked!

    Here you can find an mp3 file to use for testing.

  • Searching windows file shares

    I'm searching for a method or a program which allows me to search windows shared drives without having to connect to each shared drive individually.
    Is this possible?
    I know in Windows there are programs which can search the contents of all shared drives visible on your network. I was hoping that a similar program existed for the Mac.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Dave,
    They can open files as well? Or just see search results?
    As with most search results they should be security trimmed by SharePoint automatically. The Crawler and Indexer should apply security permissions to the search entries, so that when the Query component provides the security context the results returned
    are only the ones the user is able to (at minimum) read.
    I have seen similar issues when the security account for search isn't set up quite right. If the search query service is using the search account or an admin account it may be returning all results that it has access to, rather than just the results the
    user has access to. But if users are also able to get to the files as well, that might be something a bit strange with the file share instead?
    RE permissions on the File Share, instead of the Microsoft Support article is there another account you can use to crawl the content instead? Sometimes I have created a separate File Share crawl account that has read access to the file share to be crawled/indexed.
    I then add a Crawl Rule to add alternate credentials for crawling:

  • Browsing Windows File Shares not working

    I'm trying to integrate Macs into our Windows and Linux Network. After finally getting a stable Active Directory binding (Article TS3248 http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3248?viewlocale=en_US) the remaining challenge is for our users to browse for Windows (Samba) servers. That is, visible in "Networking" or the Side Panel under "SHARED".
    At the moment the users are able to connect to all file shares by using "Connect to Server ..." and typing "smb://host/share" so we know that Kerberos is working well (AD Integration). The variation "smb://someuser@host/share" and providing a password also works. When the file share is mounted it is displayed under "Shared"
    Searching on the net led me to check /private/var/log/samba/log.nmbd file. Every five minutes the following error message is logged:
    \[2011/03/16 13:04:04, 0, pid=113\] /SourceCache/samba/samba-235.5/samba/source/libsmb/nmblib.c:send_udp(793)
    Packet send failed to <WINS server IP>(138) ERRNO=No route to host
    This doesn't make sense since this host is pingable and is on the same subnet (i.e. no route). An additional observation is that Windows XP machines that are NOT bound to the domain are browsable. The problem applies both to Windows Server 2008 as well as CentOS 5.5 servers running Samba.
    Google search has turned up nothing. Based upon my experience with other Samba implementations, this may be a bug in OS X. Anyone out there having the same problem or a resolution?

    I have a similar problem, and have seen something somewhere about a difference in AD in windows 2003 server and Windows 2008 server based networks. It also seem to be related to the lack of wins in modern Windows 2008 R2 functional level domains. I haven't been able to rule this out yet, but the problem for me is similar. MAC client running 10.6.x cannot see Windows computers under shared unless it's already mounted. I haven't been able to test this with OS X 10.7 yet.    

  • Load Balancing Windows File Share? Doable ??

    So I have a storage design question. The goal of this question is to find out how to best design a high availability storage solution without a single point of failure (SPF). 
    We need a storage location that needs to be accessed via an smb share in format of \\servername\sharename. We need to have an extremely high available solution as this share will be used to host remote IIS files and other important files being used by multiple
    web servers. The most ideal solution is if there is a way to load balance an SMB fileshare so that it can be accessed by \\loadbalanced_name\sharename. 
    I am not sure if such technology exists for Windows 2008, Windows Storage Server, or with using 3rd party load balancing / file server / iscsi solution. 
    The current setup of our high available fileshare is with using Windows Clustering with 2 file servers attached to a singled Direct Attached Storage (DAS). Although we never really have an issue with this design, we would like to entirely eliminate the single
    point of failure of the DAS.
    So, any ideas / Input from anyone? 
    Thanks in advance!

    FRS had issues, especially with large volumes.  DFS-R solves that.
    More importantly, DFS and DFS-R can be used independently, so if you

  • Windows File Share not using Correct NIC Interface.

    Hi
    I have Windows 2012 R2 server with two 1gb NICs.  I want to use NIC1 for the regular network traffic/Internet and the NIC2 for database traffic.  NIC1 has IP Addresses of 64.141.xxx.xxx (I am not showing the last 6 digits for security reasons)
    and 192.168.10.21.  NIC2 has the IP Address of 192.168.11.2.
    The Workstation accessing this server also has two NICS.  NIC1 has the IP address of 64.141.xxx.xxx and 192.168.10.22.  NIC2 has the IP Address of 192.168.11.4.
    I created a share on the server myDataShare$.  On the Workstation I access the share using \\192.168.11.2\myDataShare$ and everything works accept that the data from the share is sent across NIC1 but I want it to go over NIC2.  If I add static
    routes to both machines it makes no difference all network traffic always goes out on NIC1 for both machines.
    If look at the status of each NIC on the send and receive bytes only NIC1 show any traffic.  NIC2 is silent.  How do I get traffic for the 192.168.11.0/24 subnet to use NIC2?
    The strange thing is that if I ping a 192.168.11.0/24 address it goes over NIC2 but file sharing seems to ignore NIC2 altogether.
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Hi Simon,
    Windows Vista and later are based on the strong host model. In the strong host model, the host can only send packets on an interface if the interface is assigned the source
    IP address of the packet being sent. Also the concept of a primary IP address does not exist.
    If the program specifies a source IP address, that IP address is used as the source IP address for connections sourced from that socket and the adapter associated with that
    source IP is used as the source interface. The route table is searched but only for routes that can be reached from that source interface.
    You can try to set the “skipassource” flag ,by using this flag, the added new addresses are not used for outgoing packets unless explicitly set for use by outgoing packets.
