For the last few days (maybe since an auto update?) the SMB auth has been failing between VLC and a Linux Samba server accessible on my wifi. On my iPhone, iPad, and AppleTV. Meanwhile, my Windows 10 machines connect and browse fine.
I've verified multiple times that I'm entering the correct password, including changing it to "test". I've verified it's using NTLMv2... all the usual stuff.
Running `smbclient -U redacted \\\\servername\\sharename` from the Linux server connects fine too.
In the Samba logs I see this when I try to connect with VLC:

Any ideas? It's almost as if VLC isn't sending the password correctly, but I don't know how I could verify that.

Hello,

I have indeed noticed some problems with SMB using VLC on an iPad Pro 2020. When I try to connect to a server, the spinning wheel keeps spinning and nothing happens.

I took a look at it with Wireshark and it turns out that the connection process doesn't succeed, and I also think it's because the password is not transmitted correctly. The security blob seems to be lacking some data and apparently DFS is not enabled (which it should)/

Posted: **08 Oct 2020 08:44**

Thanks a lot for providing those details. We will look into it!

Just to make extra sure: which SMB version is enabled on your Linux computers? 1, 2 or 3?

Posted: **08 Oct 2020 16:55**

I’m not entirely sure. How would I check?
(It’s a fairly default Ubuntu install of samba from about a year ago, so whatever the defaults are. I’d expect they’re pretty modern.)
I didn’t explicitly mention, but this had been working fine for ages, and stopped working roughly a week ago, give or take a few days. I didn’t change anything on the server, or my network. (Though I know that doesn’t always mean anything.) I noticed that VLC auto updated on my phone around the same time though.

Posted: **09 Oct 2020 08:08**

We discovered that this problem affects SMBv2, which is the default configuration for Samba on Linux and various NAS devices. We are working on a fix. SMBv1 will work fine but is discouraged for security reasons.

I have problem too with my iphone (ios 14) and i cant connect to my windows 10 with smb share. Popup appear to enter credential!

I didnt do the update on My older ipad , and it work fine!

Posted: **09 Oct 2020 21:51**

Hello,
same problem here.
VLC for Mobile 3.2.12 - on iPad Pro A1701, iOS 13.7 // SMB share on Windows 10 Pro 1909 (access with credentials),
Even with SMBv1 feature enabled on Win10, the spinning wheel keeps spinning and nothing happens..
was working fine before last update, other apps and iOS explorer can see the share correctly
Best Regards.

Hello,

There is a pre-release version available on TestFlight right now that you can download and install to verify that the problem is resolved: https://testflight.apple.com/join/bbyXP6Lx

Thanks!

Posted: **10 Oct 2020 17:31**

The TestFlight version doesn’t seem to fix it for me. I’ll try to grab logs later when I have time.

Felix,
So you know, and I will post under my thread as well, 3.2.13 does allow us to log into Box and view/work with files.
I am ready to see it in the App Store

Posted: **11 Oct 2020 02:40**

This is what I'm getting on the server now, with the TestFlight version of the app. Looks like the same error, but maybe something's different. All the "redacted" are the same thing, my samba username.

This is what I get when I enter the correct password:

Code: Select all

  check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [redacted] -> [redacted] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD, authoritative=1
[2020/10/10 17:35:52.131460,  2] ../../auth/auth_log.c:635(log_authentication_event_human_readable)

And this when I enter the wrong password:

They look the same to me, which makes me think there's something wrong with how VLC is sending the password?

So, we just fixed a login issue with SMBv3, but it doesn't seem to be related to your issue, since your installation is one year old.

Could you help us by giving us the following ?
- Your exact Ubuntu version
- The result of "apt show samba"
- The result of "cat /etc/samba/smb.conf"

Hi Thomas,
I'm having the same problem. It worked fine yesterday, then the iPad rebooted (I assume it might have updated VLC after that) and it failed. I tried the build you linked and I got the same error as before.

I am running Samba 4.13.0 on Gentoo. I haven't changed any of the default parameters, this is my config after stripping out comments:

Code: Select all

[global]
access based share enum = yes
   workgroup = MYGROUP
   server string = Samba Server
   server role = standalone server
   max log size = 50
   dns proxy = no
[data]
  valid users = xxx
  public = no
  writable = yes
  path = /mnt/data

I can provide complete logs and/or a PCAP in PM if you'd like.

Description: SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
 Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems,
 providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with
 Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems.  Samba can also function
 as an NT4-style domain controller, and can integrate with both NT4 domains
 and Active Directory realms as a member server.
 .
 This package provides the components necessary to use Samba as a stand-alone
 file and print server or as an NT4 or Active Directory domain controller.
 For use in an NT4 domain or Active Directory realm, you will also need the
 winbind package.
 .
 This package is not required for connecting to existing SMB/CIFS servers
 (see smbclient) or for mounting remote filesystems (see cifs-utils).

# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix

Hello,
I still have the same problem (infinite loading) with this TestFlight-version (.13) and my Windows 10 shares with authentication.

I hope you will find a solution.

can confirm this is happening. not that y'all didn't know that, just want to get notified about updates to the issue. now i have to use the "Remote Files" app to browse the LAN with my iphone

Felix,
So you know, and I will post under my thread as well, 3.2.13 does allow us to log into Box and view/work with files.
I am ready to see it in the App Store

Posted: **13 Oct 2020 21:41**

I confirm that version 3.2.13 (369) does not work with Windows 10 shares either.
Never had any problem before the 3.2.12 update of the application.

Win 10 password protected shares also fail to load with ipadOS version 3.2.12 (365) All Along the Watchtower for me. I have successfully opened this share using the ipadOS 'Files' app, copy/pasting the username and password from an email.

I also am having trouble connecting to a Windows 10 SMB using VLC on iOS. TestFlight version 3.2.13 didn't work either, and VLC worked before. I had to go in and enable SMB v1 on the Windows machine in order to get it working again. iOS 14 files app can access the SMB share with no issues.

I haven't been able to figure out how to connect to my SMB server using VLC in any Apple devices. I've tried various SMB settings on the server to use version 1 or 3 (since the bug seems to be with 2, I hear?) but nothing is working.

I just pushed a new TestFlight version this evening. Please retry your tests. Thank you!
