CIFS - Home Directories

[TGRHavoc]

Hello,

I don't know if this is a known issue with FreeNAS or, if I'm messing something up so, I've took to posting the problem I'm having on the forums in the hope that someone much more experienced than myself would be able to help.

The problem:

Users with capitalization in their name (e.g. Test) cannot access their "Home" file share.

So, I set up two accounts on the NAS box (on for myself, and a test account) and named them with capital letters at the beginning, I then set up some shares created groups etc. Then I tried to access the home shares with my user but, I was getting the following error:

Code:

Sep  1 03:42:47 sharksevrer smbd[72813]: [2015/09/01 03:42:47.296708,  0] ../source3/smbd/service.c:792(make_connection_snum)
Sep  1 03:42:47 sharksevrer smbd[72813]:   canonicalize_connect_path failed for service Jordan, path /mnt/sharkserver/User Homes/jordan

So, SMB is looking in the wrong location for my user... But, why?

It already knows that the username has a capital letter (shows this in the output) so, why is it looking for a home share with a lowercase letter?

I've managed to work around this by FTP-ing in as root and renaming the folder with a lowercase letter but, I don't want to do that every time I create a new user.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

This has existed since I started using freenas on 9.1.1. I thought there was a bug open for it but since it hasn't been fixed there probably isn't.

If you do create a bug report at bugs.freenas.org, post the issue number here.

Darn, do you know of any better work around other than renaming the folders?

Edit: Submitted a bug report, you can find it here: #11271

I think it has to do with Windows being case insensitive and how the auth subsystem works. Somewhere along the way the auth token that gets used is returning an all lower case username which leads to the path being messed up.

You can either change client username or change path name.
