OSX / AD integration not automatically authenticating with other servers

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I’ve integrated my Powerbook into our organisation’s Active Directory infrastructure as a test before I work on the organisation’s own Macs.

I’m authenticating successfully, and getting a login.

However, I don’t seem to be passing authentication ‘tokens’ to other servers, so if I try and connect to a share on the SAN via SMB of CIFS, I have to authenticate again.

Ditto with the proxy server.

Is there any way I can improve the user experience so that these things happen automatically and not prompt the user? Obviously I can store stuff in the keychain, but the users’ passwords expire every 30 days which means that the Mac will be using the wrong credentials to authenticate…

Everything is working as you’d expect on Win XP connecting to the same resources.

Thanks for your help 🙂
