Environment
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2015 (OES 2015) Linux Support Pack 1
Situation
Customer has print to scan feature setup on a printer and it scans to a network cifs folder on the server. Customer upgraded OES2015 sp1. Now the printer will not authenticate to the CIFS share.
Resolution
. vi /etc/opt/novell/cifs/cifs.conf
. look for value of –NEGOTIATE_NTSTATUS yes
. if the value is not present or set to no, then run:
. See if the printer is able to authenticate.
. If the printer is not able to authenticate, we will need a tcpdump/wireshark trace…
. look for value of –NEGOTIATE_NTSTATUS yes
. if the value is not present or set to no, then run:
novcifs --negotiate-ntstatus=yes. rcnovell-cifs restart
. See if the printer is able to authenticate.
. If the printer is not able to authenticate, we will need a tcpdump/wireshark trace…
Cause
Change is made in the security blob in the Negotiate protocol response, which lists the security mechanisms supported by server.
