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.
