Recently had a problem where I frequently was unable to browse secure shares on my AD joined Unraid instance - whenever I tried to access a share using my account, I would continually be prompted for a username and password. Using any other AD account worked fine.
Suspect this is due to my trying to create a user in the webUI with the same username - it appears that while the user is not created and passwd/shadow remain clear, the user is still created in the samba user directory (tdbsam?). When trying to browse secure shares, it would authenticate using my AD account and then try to authenticate using the tdbsam one. Details of what (I believe) the problem is in the thread below:
I haven't tried to reproduce this issue as I do not want to go through that hassle again. Also, there was no error generated when the user creation failed - the Unraid 'loading' logo was present for a few seconds then just disappears.
