Hello,
I have an issue since I installed TrueNAS Scale (current version installed 25.04.2.4) that I cannot authenticate with local user once I join the TNS to the domain.
I checked by simply deactivating AD services, which makes it possible to use the local user.
Moreover, also after I enable AD, I can’t connect via IP any more.
This presents a huge issue in my mixed environment, where I have both AD and non-AD-joined devices.
Can someone confirm, clarify, is there a bug?
Thanks
Hi and welcome to the forums.
It may be that when you connected to your domain you have ‘use default domain’ selected (might be a default).
I assume you are trying to connect to an SMB share?
If so try entering the username like this TRUENAS\localuser followed by the password. (Or replace TRUENAS with whatever your hostname is).
Thank you very much for the welcome.
In the meantime, I spent hours yesterday, and finally kind of think I understood what’s going on…
The use default domain feature actually helped me fix another issue I was having, and that was that none of the domain users had a DOMAIN\ prefix any more, so it was a bit hard to identify sometimes.
However: I indeed haven’t found a way to use local users via SMB when domain is active.
Nevertheless, the solution seems to be simple:
I created the wanted user in my AD, synced to the TrueNAS, and then used it like a “local” user on my Macbook. Without a domain prefix. Weirdly enough, that actually works. Both SMB logins, when doing via Finder as well as Time Machine, required me to just type in “username” and appropriate password and I was in.
So finally my Time Machine is working, which was hours of troubleshooting yesterday…
