| Description | This article addresses an issue where SSL VPN users are unable to access an SMB File share via SSL VPN web mode. |
| Scope | FortiGate v7.4.5, v7.6.0. |
| Solution |
When attempting to access an SMB share via SSL VPN web mode, users encounter a 'permission denied' error after entering the credentials or when selecting the bookmark if Single Sign-On (SSO) is enabled.
Sample config:
config vpn ssl web portal
edit "smb-share"
set web-mode enable
set forticlient-download disable
set default-protocol smb
config bookmark-group
edit "gui-bookmarks"
config bookmarks
edit "labdog-smb"
set apptype smb
set folder "smb-1/UserShare"
set sso auto
next
end
next
end
next
end
The following errors may be seen in the debugs indicating that the FortiGate smbcd daemon fails to query the DNS server.
smbcd: dns_query:143 sendto() failed: Connection refused
smbcd: get_smbitem_list:398 error opening: smb://smb-1/UserShare: Network is unreachable

[280:root:5]rmt_error_cb_handler:130 Can't get corresponding message for key 400. Use the default error message.
