SMB Username/Password incorrect after every TrueNAS reboot

Each time I reboot the TrueNAS Scale server, no user can login over SMB anymore. Windows says: Username or password incorrect for every single user configures.
Resetting the password over the Web UI fixes the login until the next server restart.

TrueNAS Version 25.04.0

Another thing: This started happening with the 25.04 version. If I change my password to the same it was in the WebUI Windows doesn’t even ask for the password, since it was correct in the first place.

Known issue c.f. release notes about user accounts with empty passwords breaking SMB authentication. To be fixed in 25.04.1.

Good that this issue is being addressed. Just to be clear: All the users that had this issue did not have empty passwords. Is this still the same issue?

Yes. One broken user account breaks SMB passdb generation.

Thanks for clarifying this so quickly.

This is of course a completely superfluous problem.

This is why we have now spent weeks unnecessarily testing all the settings for smb/cifs, even though everything worked before.

As a result, settings were changed even though it was not necessary. Sometimes these changes can no longer be traced back and are difficult to correct.

The update to 25.04 has caused a lot of confusion.

I am looking forward to 25.04.1.
