Issue

  • Mounting a CIFS share on a unix client works but when changing the user we can no longer write to the share:

root@domain.linux.domgroup.com:~ (0)
# su - USER1
Last login: Tue Jul 00 00:00:00 CEST 0000 on pts/1
[USER1@domgroup.com@domain root]$ cd /mnt/
[USER1@domgroup.com@domain mnt]$ touch test
touch: cannot touch 'test': Permission denied
[USER1@domgroup.com@domain mnt]$ touch test
touch: cannot touch 'test': Permission denied

  • Share Permissions are set to: Everyone / full-control
  • SECTRACE is empty
  • No errors found in EMS or SECD
