I went through the CIFS setup,&nbsp; since we don't have a Windows domain, I chose <STRONG>Workgroup - Unix Clear Text Passwords </STRONG>for Authentication. Workgroup name is WG, security style is NTFS. When I tried to add Access Control Entry for the share, I specify user Administrator, but I got error 'Unknown user/group Administrator'. The only thing it will take is root and everyone. But even after I gave everyone Full Control, I can't map the share <A target="_blank">\\filer\test</A> from a Windows client, whose IP was actually specified as Administration Host. The error is 'The account is not authorized to log in from this station'. At this point, I tried to map the C$ share, same error. It used to work when I log on as WG\Administrator and I was able to copy over some firmware files for upgrade.</P><P>What did I do wrong? I have no domain, and only need Administrator user to access the share.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:03:35 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/CIFS-access-issue/m-p/77916#M7059 cybercon_inc 2025-06-05T07:03:35Z Re: CIFS access issue https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/CIFS-access-issue/m-p/77922#M7061 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I figured it out.
