Unable to connect to CIFS share on 5230 appliance

I have enabled the incoming_patches share on the NetBackup 5230 appliance, but I cannot open it.  I am unable to authenticate, even though I know that I am entering the correct username and password.  What is the domain that should be supplied in the login credentials if ldap authentication is not enabled on the appliance?

    It turns out that the issue was that it would not work with the "_".  When I used \\nbuappliance\incoming patches, it worked.  It would be nice if the documentation contained the correct information.

    ah

     

    when you typed incoming_patches in you first post I assumed you were on the latest netbackup patch as it is now incoming_patches. I actually editted my response and removed the "\\nbuappliance1\incoming patches" once I reread you post - d-oh!

     

    also on the old version it does show the correct path to type in for cifs share when you "share open" from the CLISH but I found it would never work unless you wrapped it with "" because of the space.

    Hi You put the ip or DNS name of the appliance i.e. \\nbuappliance1\incoming_patches and the domain\account you put in is nbuappliance1\admin
