- Getting Help
Workaround Interactive users can retry with correct password. Applications and servers may need
special attention as the user/password, which is usually set in a script or configuration
file, has probably expired.
CIFS Connection Failure
Description CIFS client share access denied.
Cause The user is unknown in the Active Directory server, and the NAS system mapped this
user to a guest user. If the share does not allow guest access, the user receives an
access denied alert.
Workaround Ensure that the user is listed in the Active Directory server the NAS is using.
Alternatively, you can remove the guest limitation for the share. If the user can now
access the share as guest, the newly created files are owned by the nobody/guest
user.
CIFS Delete On Close Denial
Description Files are deleted while they are in use.
Cause If a file is deleted when it is open, it is marked for deletion, and is deleted after it is
closed. Until then, the file appears in its original location but the system denies any
attempt to open it.
Workaround Notify the user who tried to open the file that the file is deleted.
CIFS File Access Denied
Description CIFS file access denied.
Cause Client has insufficient privileges to perform the requested operation on the file.
Workaround This is an informative event. The user may request to modify the file ACL to allow
access.
CIFS File Sharing Conflict
Description CIFS file sharing conflict.
Cause When a file is opened using the CIFS protocol, the opening application communicates
the sharing mode that must be used while this file is open.
This sharing mode describes what other users activities are allowed on this file, while
it is open.
This definition is sent by the application and the user cannot control/configure it.
After there is a violation of the sharing definition, the user receives an access denied
error and this event is issued.
Workaround This is an informative event; The administrator may contact the locking user and
request to close the application referencing this file.
The application which opened the file may not have shut down gracefully. It is
recommended to reboot the client if possible.
CIFS Guest Account Invalid
Description CIFS service cannot start.
Cause A valid CIFS guest account is required for CIFS functionality.
Workaround Configure the system guest account with a valid account.
