Description Daniel Kreuter 2013-11-12 09:42:05 UTC

When connecting to a samba share which is on a microsoft windows domain, only username and password are asked for. It would be better to ask for the domain as well (like nautilus does).

Without the domain I'm not able to use Dolphin with the samba servers of my company.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Daniel Kreuter 2013-11-13 14:23:15 UTC

Hi,

I found a workaround.
It works if you enter the workgroup for samba in /etc/samba/smb.conf, then Dolphin just needs to ask for the username and password and kio takes the workgroup from the conf file.

It would be nicer to provide the workgroup in the same dialog as the username/password inside Dolphin, for the case someone uses the same program with different samba workgroups.

Cheers

I can confirm the same behaviour as of  4:4.14.6-0ubuntu1, the issue can also be solved by using the domain with a backslash prior de username "DOMAIN\username" but it requires a knowledge that people might not have. Moreover in ubuntu the domain is asked, also in programs such as remmina (the most popular rdesktop client)

smb: enable anonymous and domain extra field in authinfo

Summary:
this causes kiod to query the password with the relevant functionality
enabled. domain additionally defaults to whatever smbc_getWorkgroup returns
FIXED-IN: 19.12.3

Test Plan:
- builds
- auth query has new functionality
- logging in still works as expected

I couldn't actually get the original problem in 327484 to appear with a samba DC I threw together, so for all I know this doesn't actually fix the bug but I have no way to test :|
