We have configured samba with password protected share folders. The problem what we are facing is, multiple users were allowed to use the same system. For example if the user A uses the system S1 for the first time the system is prompting for username & password for acessing the samba shared folders and later if the user leaves the place and if user B comes in for accessing the same system say S1 it is not asking for password. Any way to fix this issue?

Note:

• I know this happens because of persistent connections. But any way to control persistent connections from samba server itself?


• Possible to make samba server to ask password on every access by disabling persistent connections??

I hope there is some possible way, but i have not got one. I have already tried the deadtime parameter but that simply closes the idle connections and makes the resource free. i.e if the new user comes and access the samba share and then it wont prompt for username & password.

Updates:

• Using both ubuntu and windows and samba share is running on ubuntu server 12.04.

  
  



• On accessing samba share from ubuntu i dont face any problems. Once i unmount the share after using it, it is prompting for username and password for the second time.

  
  



• But in windows when i access samba share for the first time, second time it is not prompting for the username and password simply the samba shared is getting accessible.

  
  



• I just want windows machine to ask password everytime when the user closes the share, instead of doing net use * /delete everytime, and we cant order user to do this everytime.

  
  



• Is there a way to block this behaviour and make samba server to ask password everytime whenever they access it via windows systems ??

  
  



• What i want to fix is, for example user A, B, & C has password credentials to access samba share, where as user D, E & F are not authorized to access samba share but all of them are authorized to use the same system say System A.
