Problem
You have created a new share through the UniventionManagenementConsole (UMC) to share a directory on a slave server.
But there is no way to access the share from any Windows computer. It does not even ask for credentials.
Solution
Step 1
Verify you have installed the app “AD compatible Domaincontroller” in the AppCenter module of UMC.
Step 2
Verify all ports are accessible if the system is running in a protected network (ie blocked ports by a firewall).
Step 3
Verify your File ACLs if access really is configured. (root@ucs:~# getfacl <path>
)
Step 4
Verify a user has access to the whole directory path in posix. If a user can’t access the shares root folder the access to deeper folders is blocked.
