I have this exact problem on a freshly installed Precise. This is what I had to do, to fix the problem:
in /etc/samba/smb.conf add the following to the bottom of the [global] section: client lanman auth = yes client ntlmv2 auth = no I could gvfs-mount a Windows 2008 share, but not an Alfresco CIFS share. With the above changes to smb.conf, I can access all shares withoput problems. I didn't have this problem on a freshly installed Oneiric machine, so I'm not sure what's changed og wether thes should be fixed in gvfs or in the default samba installation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510059 Title: Gvfs keeps asking for password when trying to mount Samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/510059/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
