Hello.
A few months back you guys pointed me in the right direction and I
finished our app that auto mounts AFP and SMB mounts. I'm using the
FSMountServerVolumeAsync(). The code works wonderfully for AFP. SMB
shares work for WORKGROUP systems. However, if the windows system is
in a DOMAIN, the mount fails. The URL I successfully use for
WORKGROUP systems is formated like this for
example: smb://192.168.1.24/share1. For DOMAIN systems, I've tried
to use a URL of smb://DOMAIN;192.168.1.24/share1 with no luck.
I've gone over the parameters to FSMountServerVolumeAsync() and tried
to Google various key words and haven't found anything about DOMAIN
mounts using FSMountServerVolumeAsync(). Does anyone have any
suggestions they can share with me???
It's actually a suggestion, but the only difference between connecting
to a share on a standalone computer (or a computer that's part of a
workgroup), and a computer that's in a domain is in authentication
involved. When trying to mount a share on a computer that's in a
domain, it's normally DC, not the target computer, who checks your
credentials and grants or denies access. In this case, the target
computer doesn't perform any checks on your identity itself but relies
entirely on the DC.
If there's something else that differs, I'm curious what it could be.
