Best authentication method for SMB server with Active Directory Authentication? #103

Closed JustMatthewDEV closed 1 year ago

JustMatthewDEV commented 1 year ago

I was trying to connect my Samba Server, where I host all the videos of a car store (basically, I want to put a screensaver with my videos when nobody is streaming to it). The server authenticates via Active Directory (Kerberos) user and password. But it says Can't connect to Server Authentication Failed.

Maybe I need to put my domain name like example\user or user@example.local? Everything is ok with the user, I can authenticate without any problem in another file app on my Chromecast, but I can't do it on Aerial.

I have a Chromecast 4K with Google TV , Android 13 and Aerial Views downloaded via Google Play (lastest version)

The option to specify a domain or workgroup is in the code, there's no UI option for it, it defaults to WORKGROUP - that's something I can fix in the next release, but it won't be due for a couple of weeks?

In the meantime, you can try putting domain\username as the username, although I can't test that myself as I don't have a domain setup at home.

v1.5 has just been released on GitHub with this fix. It should be released on the Play Store, etc in the next couple of weeks.
