Finally having this working consistently by... Setting up a user in Unraid that matched my host machine's user credentials. Setting up that same user info with same credentials in KDE Plasma's System Settings > Network Settings > Window Shares. Logging in to SMB in Dolphin with the path: smb://myuser@myserver/share. Any of those things being off seems to make login inconsistent, but all of them being the same and it works on logout and reboot. Hope this helps someone else in the future!

Closing the loop on this for now in case others are looking for the answer, which unfortunately I still don't really have. SMB connection is flaky at best. I ended up creating another user that matched my system user's credentials and that login worked briefly, but not consistently. After reboot it lost connection. After much fiddling I could get it to authenticate a couple times, but now I can't authenticate yet again. I've tried all kinds of suggestions I've found in various disjointed posts from around the web and so far no real luck. I will update here if I manage to get it going so that others can see the answer.

Ah, sorry about that. Here it is. So additional info as well. I tried a another file manager (Nautilus) just for kicks, and it's authenticating fine. So it might be an issue specifically with the Dolphin file manager. I am wondering if maybe there is a Samba version issue between UNRAID and KDE Plasma, or perhaps a missing dependency on my Linux box. Seeing a Samba log might help so I think I will go figure that part out too. galactiserver-diagnostics-20220425-0102.zip

I am migrating from Windows to Linux (loving it) and am working off a fresh Debian 11 installation running KDE Plasma 5.20.5 with Dolphin as the default file manager. I am able to see my Unraid server through Dolphin and can browse/read all visible directories. I am unable to login properly though to make any writes. Sometimes (but not always) I get an authentication prompt, however entering my credentials does not work; the dialog just pops right back up again as if the server rejected my credentials. I have triple verified them of course, and I have confirmed that things still work as expected in Windows 10 and OSX. In my search for answers I have noticed that some users have success with setting their user credentials in System Settings > Settings > Windows Shares, but this method hasn't worked for me. Stuck and out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

Things are back to stable again. Thanks again for the help! I have some cascading issues here, but I really extra hosed myself with that 'prefer' setting. Won't make that mistake again.

Thanks for the reply. Actually just changed all those shares to Prefer today as opposed to Yes in an effort to troubleshoot. They were mostly all set to YES before I started having issues, but now I am realizing I just created more issues by doing that. Whoops! Will do as you say, fix the settings, and report back. Cheers.

Long time listener first time caller here. Thanks in advance for any assistance. I've been able to solve loads of problems through browsing this forum. The last few days I've been seeing my cache filling up to full, and my docker doing same. I suspect maybe this is a logging issue but I am still a bit too much of a noob to know for sure. Today I got a Fatal Docker Image error when trying to access Apps from the GUI. I am hereby doing what the error message says and including my diagnostics. Any thoughts? galactiserver-diagnostics-20211101-1419.zip
