Hi,
I have one project where the customer is migrating from XP to NLD . The
main requirement for them is to acccess network shares as they are
accessing network shares in XP . In XP , a domain user can browse the
network and he can go into any computer which is part of the domain .
The user no needs to provide username and password to access network
shares in XP ( provided by appropriate permissions ) . So, the customer
is expecting same thing from NLD.
In KDE , if i am browsing the windows network by using konqeror , you
can see all the domains in the network and machines which are part of
these domain . But , when i am trying access to one machine ,
username-password dialog box appears . After providing username &
password credentials , a user can go inside that machine and he can
access the shares which are in that machine . If you try to access same
machine second time , you won't get username-password dialog box .
Konqeror has capabilities to cache the password , but this is not
permenent for windows networks . Kwallet also doesn't helping me to
solve this issue.
I joined NLD to their domain , but still the problem exists . Please any
body can tell me how we can solve the problem . Is kwallet solve this
kind problems or is there is any way to solve this problem . Actually ,
this is the common requirement for all customers who are migrating from
Windows to Linux .
Thanks & Regards,
