Screenshot of Wireshark dump of gvfsd-smb login sequence

When trying to connect to an smb share, libsmbclient ignores the part after an @ in the username. This causes login to fail when an @-part is required.

I discovered this bug through GNOME (original bug report at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775477), but it turns out the bug is in libsmbclient.

I've attached a screenshot of a Wireshark dump of a login attempt with gvfsd-smb.

This will be mostly fixed in 4.6 (at least for the 'smbclient' command line tool).

I'm not sure if libsmbclient is fixed yet.
Comment 3 Willem Mulder 2017-08-01 13:32:38 UTC
I just checked whether it was fixed (using 4.6.5). I can indeed connect using smbclient, but gvfsd-smb still fails.

Looking through the code, it seems `cli_session_creds_init` mistakenly thinks it's a principal, and proceeds to strip the part after the @ from the username (source3/libsmb/cliconnect.c, lines 111-122). I'm not too sure what the best option would be here, so I'll leave that to the Samba team.
