No option to set Local User Authentication Model in CIFS

[Chris Cooper]

As above, the first option in the CIFS settings dialog is NetBIOS Name. There isn't any option in the CIFS Settings to set the Authentication Model.
See the attached screenshot.

This was one of the changes in 9.2.1.1 to resolve Samba issues.

as in it was removed? so how does samba determine the authentication mode now then?

odd thing was when I tested freenas on vmware workstation the option was there.

This is causing a problem for me as I appear to be running into the same issue as bug #3396: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/3396 Oddly, smb4.conf shows the authentication mode set to use as I would expect.

Prior to upgrading to 9.2.1 (and, subsequently, 9.2.1.1), my shares worked fine. Now I can create and delete files in shares, but I can't write any data to them.

Is there any update on this? I can not set the authentication model either.

I just upgraded to 9.2.1.3 and can't log in via CIFS without enabling guest access. Is user authentication just gone now?

It is now like this: The "Authentication Model" field has been removed from CIFS as Anonymous is not a valid setting for Samba4. Instead Local User is used unless the system is joined to an Active Directory domain.

Are there common scenarios which could cause Samba 2's Local User auth to fail? Trying to troubleshoot my setup and I don't have any leads.

I can authenticate with FreeNAS now, but I had to reformat my FreeNAS flash drive and start from scratch in order to do it.
