Description Stanislav Yudin 2005-09-30 22:22:50 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I try to connect to windows share with smb://<some ip>/<share>
nautilus asks me for user/password/domain. After submiting password,user name
and domain name in that dialog I clicked connect button but recieved just the
same dialog again. After several attempts to connect, I clicked cancel button
and with some kind of magic it had connected to share. 
Even if I select to store my credentials in keyring - nautilus continues to ask
me for them on every connection.

Steps to reproduce:
try to connect to Windows 2k server share, protected with domain user name


Actual results:
natilus asks for password again and again. Click on Cancel lead to connection,
which is rather strange

Expected results:
connection to share

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
Ubuntu 5.10 current

so you guys, can't confirm it? no smb shares around or what?
Comment 2 Baybal Ni 2006-05-13 11:09:55 UTC 
Fixed in 2.14
Comment 3 André Klapper 2008-09-06 19:07:55 UTC 
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome.

If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs.

@Bugzilla mail recipients: query for gnome-vfs-mass-close to get rid of these notification emails all together.
