Mac OS 9 clients authentication problem Win 2003 Server. September 15, 2003 -- Eric Garneau reports a problem and a solution with Mac OS 9 and Windows 2003 server, which he says has to do with authentication:
Here is a problem related by a friend with Mac OS 9.2.2 computers trying to access Windows 2003 Server file servers. Through the Chooser and AppleShare they see the server volumes but they can't log on to them. With Mac OS X 10.2 there is no problem accessing the volumes.
I suggested he try this solution I found with Google on Mac-forums.com .
I have FINALLY figured out what the **** is going on.
There is an issue with XP, that requires all authentication to be digitally sealed, or encrypted. Samba does not yet support this "feature" as it is an Active Directory thing.
So what you need to do is go into the Local Policy for XP Pro, or the Domain Policy for Win 2003 Server (which is basically XP server), and change the policy named Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always) to disabled. There is also one for server, I would disable that as well. You MUST reboot for the changes to take effect. Or you can stop and start some services which isn't as reliable, to me.
Keep in mind this is reducing the security on your XP / Win 2003 machines ( if you have any ). So do this at your own risk..."
And it did work. Maybe someone can offer an explanation or alternative, confirm or deny this problem.
