Hello,

thanks for the informations. I created a cifs standalone server as described on page 60f. This time I used an ASCII password as writen in documentation during creation progress. (I used 'admin' and 'abcdefg'). The next step is changing the password of 'Administrator' using windows password change (page 70). I still get the same error "Access Denied". CIFS is enabled on the Datamovers.

[nasadmin@VNX01 ~]$ server_cifs vdm01 -add standalone=test1,workgroup=eval,interface=int_vdm_cifsalone,local_users

vdm01 : Enter Password:*****

Enter Password Again:*****

done

[nasadmin@VNX01 ~]$ server_cifs vdm01

vdm01 :

384 Cifs threads started

Security mode = NT

Max protocol = SMB3.0

I18N mode = UNICODE

CIFS service of VDM vdm01 (state=loaded)

Good day R.Spiess

I am experiencing what appears to be the exact same problem. I only see this using the 8.1.8-37119.ova file however I am successful using the 8.1.0-38015.ova if that's any help. I've posted my issues also and as of yet haven't received any responses.

I have a separate  issue after fail-over testing using the 8.1.0 file but maybe that won't interfere with what you have to do.

Hope this helps

If you get your 8.1.8 issue resolved please send me the resolution

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I opened a support case at EMC and the issue was solved.

The behavior happens with VNX File OE8.1.8.119 and above.

A workaround for standalone servers is to change the datamover parameter "cifs.nullSession" to "2" temporary (Default = "0" in OE 8.1.8.119 and 8.1.8.121). All cifs server on the physical datamover are affected. The Administrator password change did work after that. After password change the parameter can be changed back to original value.

Details for "cifs.nullSession" can be found in VNX Parameter Guide 8.1

Hi r.spiess

you can share the case number you opened.

Reviewing the parameter not find option 2 enabled.

thnx

i have this same isues.how to fix this issue.if you have idea plz inbox.

I did this thing and problem fixed.

1. SSH into your management IP using your nasadmin account

2. To verify the setting, run this:

server_param server_2 -facility cifs -info nullSession -verbose

3. If you need to turn nullsessions back on because it breaks something:

server_param server_2 -facility cifs -modify nullSession -value 1

server_param server_3 -facility cifs -modify nullSession -value 1

4. To turn off nullsessions:

server_param server_2 -facility cifs -modify nullSession -value 0

server_param server_3 -facility cifs -modify nullSession -value 0

Hello Guys,

I am facing this issue from 3 days, still the issue not resolved. I am trying to resolve it as per the document. It is not worked well. Please help me to configure CIFS in Workgroup environment means standalone. We don't have active directory. I am able to connect to MMC but when i am creating shares it is saying access denied. Please find the attachment below and help me to resolve the issue friends.
