Re: UNC and username specification

Hello,

Thanks, but in this case, with my application I need it to connect to the filer from inside a service, and to connect with different usernames. I can't use NET USE.

For example, I need the application to connect to:

\server\share1 as user 'user1'

and to

\server\share2 as user 'user2'

Is this not possible? It is with samba.

This looks like syntax for share level security. You should be able to do something similar as a Domain member with this syntax:

NET USE \servername\sharename password /USER:domain\username

if password is missing you will be prompted.

    Subject:        UNC and username specification

Hello,

Is it possible to specify the username and password to connect to the filer's CIFS service in the UNC path?

Several years ago when I was running SAMBA on a Linux box, I was able to connect from Windows to a share with this syntax:

\servername\sharename%username:password

The ":password" was optional, if it was not specified then Lan Manager would come back and prompt for the password specified in "%username".

Thanks!
