Hi there! I've been trying to get Samba 3.0 to use plaintext passwords and unicode for
a while now.
The first thing I stumbled on was solved, it was a service pack that needed to be
applied to w2k. (Thanks!)
This is the second thing I stumbled on:
In line 613 of sesssetup.c (latest CVS) there is the following code snippet:
} else {
pstring pass;
srvstr_pull(inbuf, pass, smb_buf(inbuf),
sizeof(pass), passlen1, STR_TERMINATE);
plaintext_password = data_blob(pass, strlen(pass)+1);
}
>From what (limited) understanding I have, passlen1 in this case is the non-unicode
>password, and passlen2 is the unicode password. The code pull the wrong passlen, and
>consequently the wrong password was checked against the database. ( a password with a
>length of 0)
Changing the code to use passlen2 basically allowed me to login, but I'm pretty sure
this is not the correct fix (I would think that one should first check if the
connection is unicode or not).
Just FYI,
Thanks :)
Nir.
