Samba - Test Samba’s ability to authenticate users
Test using an invalid username and password
smbclient //sharewiz/share -U user1%secret
Result:
Domain=[SHAREWIZ] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.3.9-Ubuntu] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Test using a valid username but with an incorrect password
smbclient //sharewiz/share -U validuser%incorrect_password
Result:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
Test using a valid username with a valid password
smbclient //sharewiz/share -U validuser%correct_password
Result:
Domain=[SHAREWIZ] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.3.9-Ubuntu] smb: \>
If smbd is able to successfully authenticate the login name/password pair and that user is authorized to access the requested share, we are greeted with an smb: \> prompt.
If the user was correctly authenticated, but could not access the request service, smbclient reports that the tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare. This is where an invalid sharename has been specified, which can be caused by a misspelled share name, permissions on the share which restrict the user in question from accessing that directory or printer, or a bad path statement in the share’s definition as given by smb.conf.
Exit smb, by typing:
smb: \> exit
