Hello,

I’m trying to configure the external shared folder in my nc with LDAP integration.

I’m using Debian 10, Nginx and PHP7.3-fpm following the c-rieger tutorial installation guide.

I can connect to my Synology shared folder but I can’t doing it using nextcloud.

Connecting from terminal everything works ok. Example:

root@cloud:~# smbclient //nascloud/pruebas -Usanclemente/administrador
Enter SANCLEMENTE\administrador’s password:
Try “help” to get a list of possible commands.
smb: > dir
. DA 0 Tue Nov 19 12:28:09 2019
… DA 0 Fri Nov 15 11:53:54 2019
probando DA 0 Tue Nov 19 12:28:09 2019

            8425250492 blocks of size 1024. 8368552484 blocks available

smb: > cd probando
smb: \probando> dir
. DA 0 Tue Nov 19 12:28:09 2019
… DA 0 Tue Nov 19 12:28:09 2019

            8425250492 blocks of size 1024. 8368552484 blocks available

smb: \probando> exit

I tried with SMB test (using php-smbclient) and I get this error:

Error while loading share content.

If I try to create the external storage (joined to the domain) from NextCloud I get an error 422 in the Ajax request and there is no way of connecting.

I installed the server with different versions maybe 10 times almost with no success. Modifying samba versions protocol in /etc/samba/smb.conf the workgroup, etc… Connecting with and without domain, etc…etc…

Any idea, would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I’m using the last version 17.0.1.

Finally I have found a solution here: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/17846

There is a problem in the file:

apps/files_external/lib/Lib/Backend/SMB.php

Line 56:

  (new DefinitionParameter('timeout', $l->t('Timeout')))
       ->setType(DefinitionParameter::VALUE_HIDDEN)

Should be:

 (new DefinitionParameter('timeout', $l->t('Timeout')))
   ->setType(DefinitionParameter::VALUE_HIDDEN)
   ->setFlag(DefinitionParameter::FLAG_OPTIONAL)

The external storage (connected to NetApp) started to work again after fixing the smb.conf to:

/etc/samba/smb.conf

client min protocol = NT1
client max protocol = NT1
