We're having a problem with a script and SMB that there may or may not be a
fix to.
Here's the problem. I have a script that mounts a volume on a Windows 2000
server. Works just fine. The syntax is:
Mount volume "smb://WORKGROUP;user_name:password@server_ip/share_name"
Here's the problem. The script asks for the users password before executing.
We're finding that if the user enters their password incorrectly three times
on a Panther client and twice on a Tiger client they are locked out of their
account. The server is set up to lock out accounts after 5 bad password
attempts.
What we're seeing on the server is that when a Panther client connects with
a bad password the log shows two bad password attempts for each connection
attempt. On Tiger it's three bad passwords.
We traced this to the authentication protocols each client supports.
Panther supports two Windows protocols (LanMan and NTLMv1) while Tiger
supports a third (NTLMv2). The client seems to try to connect using every
protocol it has available to it.
Here's the question: Is there any way in a script to tell mount volume to
only use one of those authentication protocols?
Thanks!
