Description Marc Muehlfeld 2017-09-29 06:57:28 EDT

Problem description:
If you run an smbcacls command without specifying the password in the -U parameter, the command fails and prints:
> cli_full_connection failed! (NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE)
instead of asking for the password such as other tool do (e. g. "net" or "samba-tool").



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-client-4.6.2-11.el7_4.x86_64



Steps to reproduce:
1. Run:
   # smbcacls //server/share / -Uadministrator
   cli_full_connection failed! (NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE)



Further details:
* The command works if you add the password to the -U parameter. For example:
  # smbcacls //server/share / -Uadministrator%password
  But this should not be the recommended way.
* Connections also work if you have a valid Kerberos ticket and pass the
  -k option to the command

Comment 3 Andrej Dzilský 2017-10-27 13:02:26 EDT

Verified. Smbcacls now prompts user for password if no password was used.
