Issue

  • Unable to access Samba shares with errors : tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_SID
smbclient //sama.example.com/PRISMS -U EXAMPLE\\user
Enter EXAMPLE\users's password: 

tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_SID

Share definition on the smb.conf looks like below :

[share]
        comment = PRISMS Data
        path = /export/data/PRISMS
        public = no
        writable = yes
        browseable = yes
        printable = no
        write list = @ad_users
        read list = @ad_read
        force group = download
        force user = download

"Force User" specifies a UNIX user name that will be assigned as the default user of all the share.
