Hi,

Just updated to Unraid 7.0.0 and under Main there is now SMB Shares.  I have two laptops, one with user name of 'fred-wilson' and the other with 'fred wilson'.  I've set up and mounted a SMB Share to the 'fred-wilson' laptop but for the 'fred wilson' SMB Share it shows the shares but won't mount due to invalid credentials.  Using double quotes won't work either.  Any idea how to accept a space in the user name?  It is Windows 11 user name tied to a Microsoft Account and has been around for years.  Changing the user name and folders and hkey's will be too tricky.

 

This should be posted in the UD plugin support thread.

Try this:

fred\ wilson

 

The 'backslash' key is an escape character which tells the shell to pass the next character through without interpreting it as a character with a special meaning to the shell.  I don't think it is going to work but it is worth a try. 

 

These are the Unraid instructions for characters that can being used for a Share Access user:

 

If you google for acceptable character for any Linux 'user' name, you will find that they are identical.

 

I am  not a Mac user.  In the Windows environment, I would answer your question by suggesting that you setup an Unraid Share Access user for fred_wilson. Then setup a Windows credential for fred_wilson.  That bypasses using the Microsoft Account user credentials. 

Unfortunately the '\ ' escape character didn't work in the below field.  I can try setting up another Windows User on that laptop and see how that works.

Sorry - because this isn't a plugin as I'm on a fresh install of Unraid 7.0.0 and this is a new feature on the Main tab, and considering it is an SMB Share issue, I put it here.

It is, and the best way to get help is in the existing support thread, see link above.

I've done some testing and it appears that UD is handling the name with a space correctly, but when mounting a remote share, CIFS doesn't recognize the name.  I'm looking at some options in case UD is not handling the credentials correctly, but it appears a space in the name won't work.  I would recommend not using a space in credentials in either the name or the password.
