OSX unable to access samba4 shares

  • 772

As the question states, I have an OSX client that is currently not a member of the domain.

I am trying to access the SMB shares of the samba4 (Go to server -> smb://server) and I am being prompted to enter my username and password.

When I enter my password nothing happens, Finder remains in a "Connecting..." state but it never connects. I've tried to get a tcpdump to see the exchanged packets and I think that the password is never sent across but I might be wrong.

I've also tried to enable debugging on samba4 but I couldn't make something out of it.

Note that the username I am using, logs in properly from Windows clients. Samba5 has been configured by following the tutorial found here https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO

Could you please help me debug this?

EDIT:

As requested, OSX client is 10.8.4. It is not a member of the domain and just tries to access the share files using the username/password in the domain controller (Samba4)

  1. I solved all my Apple+Samba issues by also installing Netatalk (AFPd) on the server in question... 'They' say the Apple SMB implementation is really poor.
