Connect to samba mounts
This article demonstrates how to connect to samba mounts (eg: Gutenberg) from a Mac.
Recently an upgrade was performed to the departmental samba server which was required for continued functionality. A side-effect of this upgrade was that the method of connecting to Gutenberg has changed slightly. This change had happened in a past upgrade for Windows users but that previously hadn't effected Mac users until now.
The method is the same, we just need a slight tweak to the authentication portion.
- Go to the Finder
- From the Go menu, choose Connect To Server
- Connect to smb://gutenberg.physics.purdue.edu
- When entering your username/password, use the format ONEPURDUE\username along with your password as shown below.
NOTE: ONEPURDUE\ must be in front of your username and it must be typed in all capital letters.
- Choose your share that you want to mount
