Microsoft account mapping for SMB

[Chad_Myers]

I’m using TrueNAS Community Edition (Fangtooth 25.04). I’m setting up SMB shares and users. I’d like to be able to connect to SMB shares from Windows using my Microsoft online account (i.e. something@somedomain.com) vs. having to type in a user/pass. I see there was support for it in older versions of TrueNAS and FreeNAS and a “Microsoft account” checkbox on the user screen but it looks like that has been removed.

Is there any way to map TrueNAS users to Microsoft online users any more?

Not that I know of, other than perhaps connecting your TrueNAS server to some form of Microsoft Active Directory.

Here’s an older topic related to it’s removal with some good to know background information:

Ahh thanks for that, found it: NAS-113889 Remove Microsoft Account in User A bit annoying for home users who all use Microsoft Accounts to login to their devices. Need to have a think about the best way forward with regard to users having two logins/password.

Ah dang, that stinks. Thank you for the quick response though!
