Windows 7 NTLM not authenticating properly with Ubuntu 18.04












1














I've spent most of my day today trying to figure this out... Not exactly what I had in mind for today... but I couldn't help myself... So, here's the problem:
My Windows 7 machine won't authenticate (for a Samba share) to my Ubuntu 18.04 system. I think I've traced this down to the protocol itself, but I'm not sure exactly what the real problem is. It could be a setting I'm missing somewhere in Windows although I've played quite a bit with the NTLM authentication settings in the Local Policy. My Macintosh file share connection to Ubuntu works fine..



So, here's what I've found:




  1. Windows is Resetting the connection from the Ubuntu 18.04 server and restarting the negotiation process with a different port (where my Mac just Acks the STATUS_LOGIN_FAILURE message and continues on it's way).


  2. Windows is sending a different user to the Ubuntu Server (For example systemnameroot as opposed to my Mac sending systemname\root) (Notice the 2 backslashes instead of 1?)


  3. Windows is sending an "Unknown Message Type" to Ubuntu where as my Mac doesn't send anything like this at all.



Here's an image of a comparison between the 2 protocols.



Packet Capture Comparison



I've run into a few sites that may help:
https://winprotocoldoc.blob.core.windows.net/productionwindowsarchives/MS-NLMP/[MS-NLMP]-171201.pdf



https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/FileIO/microsoft-smb-protocol-and-cifs-protocol-overview



https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246324.aspx



I've turned the packet captures from both my Mac and my Windows 7 system into .csv files and put them here for your enjoyment.



Yes, I have looked at the logs (and was 'tail'ing them while trying to connect via file explorer) This is what showed up in the logs:



After a few seconds when the nobody connection times-out (I guess) from just looking at the listing of the computer I get this in the auth.log




Nov 22 21:59:11 odroid2 smbd: pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user nobody




I also get:




Nov 22 20:08:42 odroid2 smbd: pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user root




I am authenticating in other ways with 'pam' including with both sshd and smbd:




Nov 22 18:52:34 odroid2 smbd[9524]: pam_unix(samba:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)




These sessions are from my Mac authenticating. When Windows tries to authenticate, nothing shows in the auth.log other than the nobody if I view the computer (using - net view). I now have net view disabled because NetBIOS was running on port 139 and I wanted it to be the same setup as my Mac (on port 445). So I disabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP.




Nov 22 16:13:56 odroid2 sshd[428]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

Nov 22 16:13:56 odroid2 systemd-logind[535]: New session 733 of user root.

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: Received disconnect from 2600:1700:7c20:1fb0:13f:338a:e270:917d port 60469:11: disconnected by user

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: Disconnected from user root 2600:1700:7c20:1fb0:13f:338a:e270:917d port 60469

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user root




and my syslog doesn't say anything interesting.



Inside my smb.conf I have:



log level = 10
logging = 10


I assumed that 10 was the highest level and that 'all' was the default if nothing was specified. I did see 10 in a sample smb.conf on the internet so that's why I thought it was the highest level.



at https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html



they have:



Example: log level = 3 passdb:5 auth:10 winbind:2



Any help would be greatly appreciated (especially from anyone that works with Microsoft and knows these protocols and what they should look like)

If you really need them... here are the actual pcap/pcapng files... Once this is solved... I'm taking them down because there's personal information in them and anyone who wants to view the answer will have to do so without the actual pcap data.

  • I would almost bet that the backslash differences are an artifact of the capture tool's CSV exporting, and not actually sent on the wire. Can you attach the actual pcap files instead? And, have you tried checking the server's Samba logs yet? (Use [global] log level = 1 passdb:5 auth:5 auth_audit:5.)

  • I just put the actual pcap files (saved with the SMB2 marked packets) up. Thanks for taking a look at this.

I've spent most of my day today trying to figure this out... Not exactly what I had in mind for today... but I couldn't help myself... So, here's the problem:
My Windows 7 machine won't authenticate (for a Samba share) to my Ubuntu 18.04 system. I think I've traced this down to the protocol itself, but I'm not sure exactly what the real problem is. It could be a setting I'm missing somewhere in Windows although I've played quite a bit with the NTLM authentication settings in the Local Policy. My Macintosh file share connection to Ubuntu works fine..



So, here's what I've found:




  1. Windows is Resetting the connection from the Ubuntu 18.04 server and restarting the negotiation process with a different port (where my Mac just Acks the STATUS_LOGIN_FAILURE message and continues on it's way).


  2. Windows is sending a different user to the Ubuntu Server (For example systemnameroot as opposed to my Mac sending systemname\root) (Notice the 2 backslashes instead of 1?)


  3. Windows is sending an "Unknown Message Type" to Ubuntu where as my Mac doesn't send anything like this at all.



Here's an image of a comparison between the 2 protocols.



Packet Capture Comparison



I've run into a few sites that may help:
https://winprotocoldoc.blob.core.windows.net/productionwindowsarchives/MS-NLMP/[MS-NLMP]-171201.pdf



https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/FileIO/microsoft-smb-protocol-and-cifs-protocol-overview



https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246324.aspx



I've turned the packet captures from both my Mac and my Windows 7 system into .csv files and put them here for your enjoyment.



Yes, I have looked at the logs (and was 'tail'ing them while trying to connect via file explorer) This is what showed up in the logs:



After a few seconds when the nobody connection times-out (I guess) from just looking at the listing of the computer I get this in the auth.log




Nov 22 21:59:11 odroid2 smbd: pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user nobody




I also get:




Nov 22 20:08:42 odroid2 smbd: pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user root




I am authenticating in other ways with 'pam' including with both sshd and smbd:




Nov 22 18:52:34 odroid2 smbd[9524]: pam_unix(samba:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)




These sessions are from my Mac authenticating. When Windows tries to authenticate, nothing shows in the auth.log other than the nobody if I view the computer (using - net view). I now have net view disabled because NetBIOS was running on port 139 and I wanted it to be the same setup as my Mac (on port 445). So I disabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP.




Nov 22 16:13:56 odroid2 sshd[428]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

Nov 22 16:13:56 odroid2 systemd-logind[535]: New session 733 of user root.

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: Received disconnect from 2600:1700:7c20:1fb0:13f:338a:e270:917d port 60469:11: disconnected by user

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: Disconnected from user root 2600:1700:7c20:1fb0:13f:338a:e270:917d port 60469

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user root




and my syslog doesn't say anything interesting.



Inside my smb.conf I have:



log level = 10
logging = 10


I assumed that 10 was the highest level and that 'all' was the default if nothing was specified. I did see 10 in a sample smb.conf on the internet so that's why I thought it was the highest level.



at https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html



they have:



Example: log level = 3 passdb:5 auth:10 winbind:2



Any help would be greatly appreciated (especially from anyone that works with Microsoft and knows these protocols and what they should look like)

If you really need them... here are the actual pcap/pcapng files... Once this is solved... I'm taking them down because there's personal information in them and anyone who wants to view the answer will have to do so without the actual pcap data.

  • I would almost bet that the backslash differences are an artifact of the capture tool's CSV exporting, and not actually sent on the wire. Can you attach the actual pcap files instead? And, have you tried checking the server's Samba logs yet? (Use [global] log level = 1 passdb:5 auth:5 auth_audit:5.)

  • I just put the actual pcap files (saved with the SMB2 marked packets) up. Thanks for taking a look at this.

I've spent most of my day today trying to figure this out... Not exactly what I had in mind for today... but I couldn't help myself... So, here's the problem:
My Windows 7 machine won't authenticate (for a Samba share) to my Ubuntu 18.04 system. I think I've traced this down to the protocol itself, but I'm not sure exactly what the real problem is. It could be a setting I'm missing somewhere in Windows although I've played quite a bit with the NTLM authentication settings in the Local Policy. My Macintosh file share connection to Ubuntu works fine..



So, here's what I've found:




  1. Windows is Resetting the connection from the Ubuntu 18.04 server and restarting the negotiation process with a different port (where my Mac just Acks the STATUS_LOGIN_FAILURE message and continues on it's way).


  2. Windows is sending a different user to the Ubuntu Server (For example systemnameroot as opposed to my Mac sending systemname\root) (Notice the 2 backslashes instead of 1?)


  3. Windows is sending an "Unknown Message Type" to Ubuntu where as my Mac doesn't send anything like this at all.



Here's an image of a comparison between the 2 protocols.



Packet Capture Comparison



I've run into a few sites that may help:
https://winprotocoldoc.blob.core.windows.net/productionwindowsarchives/MS-NLMP/[MS-NLMP]-171201.pdf



https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/FileIO/microsoft-smb-protocol-and-cifs-protocol-overview



https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246324.aspx



I've turned the packet captures from both my Mac and my Windows 7 system into .csv files and put them here for your enjoyment.



Yes, I have looked at the logs (and was 'tail'ing them while trying to connect via file explorer) This is what showed up in the logs:



After a few seconds when the nobody connection times-out (I guess) from just looking at the listing of the computer I get this in the auth.log




Nov 22 21:59:11 odroid2 smbd: pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user nobody




I also get:




Nov 22 20:08:42 odroid2 smbd: pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user root




I am authenticating in other ways with 'pam' including with both sshd and smbd:




Nov 22 18:52:34 odroid2 smbd[9524]: pam_unix(samba:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)




These sessions are from my Mac authenticating. When Windows tries to authenticate, nothing shows in the auth.log other than the nobody if I view the computer (using - net view). I now have net view disabled because NetBIOS was running on port 139 and I wanted it to be the same setup as my Mac (on port 445). So I disabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP.




Nov 22 16:13:56 odroid2 sshd[428]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

Nov 22 16:13:56 odroid2 systemd-logind[535]: New session 733 of user root.

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: Received disconnect from 2600:1700:7c20:1fb0:13f:338a:e270:917d port 60469:11: disconnected by user

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: Disconnected from user root 2600:1700:7c20:1fb0:13f:338a:e270:917d port 60469

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user root




and my syslog doesn't say anything interesting.



Inside my smb.conf I have:



log level = 10
logging = 10


I assumed that 10 was the highest level and that 'all' was the default if nothing was specified. I did see 10 in a sample smb.conf on the internet so that's why I thought it was the highest level.



at https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html



they have:



Example: log level = 3 passdb:5 auth:10 winbind:2



Any help would be greatly appreciated (especially from anyone that works with Microsoft and knows these protocols and what they should look like)

If you really need them... here are the actual pcap/pcapng files... Once this is solved... I'm taking them down because there's personal information in them and anyone who wants to view the answer will have to do so without the actual pcap data.

share|improve this question















I've spent most of my day today trying to figure this out... Not exactly what I had in mind for today... but I couldn't help myself... So, here's the problem:
My Windows 7 machine won't authenticate (for a Samba share) to my Ubuntu 18.04 system. I think I've traced this down to the protocol itself, but I'm not sure exactly what the real problem is. It could be a setting I'm missing somewhere in Windows although I've played quite a bit with the NTLM authentication settings in the Local Policy. My Macintosh file share connection to Ubuntu works fine..



So, here's what I've found:




  1. Windows is Resetting the connection from the Ubuntu 18.04 server and restarting the negotiation process with a different port (where my Mac just Acks the STATUS_LOGIN_FAILURE message and continues on it's way).


  2. Windows is sending a different user to the Ubuntu Server (For example systemnameroot as opposed to my Mac sending systemname\root) (Notice the 2 backslashes instead of 1?)


  3. Windows is sending an "Unknown Message Type" to Ubuntu where as my Mac doesn't send anything like this at all.



Here's an image of a comparison between the 2 protocols.



Packet Capture Comparison



I've run into a few sites that may help:
https://winprotocoldoc.blob.core.windows.net/productionwindowsarchives/MS-NLMP/[MS-NLMP]-171201.pdf



https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/FileIO/microsoft-smb-protocol-and-cifs-protocol-overview



https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246324.aspx



I've turned the packet captures from both my Mac and my Windows 7 system into .csv files and put them here for your enjoyment.



Yes, I have looked at the logs (and was 'tail'ing them while trying to connect via file explorer) This is what showed up in the logs:



After a few seconds when the nobody connection times-out (I guess) from just looking at the listing of the computer I get this in the auth.log




Nov 22 21:59:11 odroid2 smbd: pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user nobody




I also get:




Nov 22 20:08:42 odroid2 smbd: pam_unix(samba:session): session closed for user root




I am authenticating in other ways with 'pam' including with both sshd and smbd:




Nov 22 18:52:34 odroid2 smbd[9524]: pam_unix(samba:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)




These sessions are from my Mac authenticating. When Windows tries to authenticate, nothing shows in the auth.log other than the nobody if I view the computer (using - net view). I now have net view disabled because NetBIOS was running on port 139 and I wanted it to be the same setup as my Mac (on port 445). So I disabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP.




Nov 22 16:13:56 odroid2 sshd[428]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

Nov 22 16:13:56 odroid2 systemd-logind[535]: New session 733 of user root.

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: Received disconnect from 2600:1700:7c20:1fb0:13f:338a:e270:917d port 60469:11: disconnected by user

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: Disconnected from user root 2600:1700:7c20:1fb0:13f:338a:e270:917d port 60469

Nov 22 16:13:57 odroid2 sshd[428]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user root




and my syslog doesn't say anything interesting.



Inside my smb.conf I have:



log level = 10
logging = 10


I assumed that 10 was the highest level and that 'all' was the default if nothing was specified. I did see 10 in a sample smb.conf on the internet so that's why I thought it was the highest level.



at https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html



they have:



Example: log level = 3 passdb:5 auth:10 winbind:2



Any help would be greatly appreciated (especially from anyone that works with Microsoft and knows these protocols and what they should look like)

If you really need them... here are the actual pcap/pcapng files... Once this is solved... I'm taking them down because there's personal information in them and anyone who wants to view the answer will have to do so without the actual pcap data.

  • I would almost bet that the backslash differences are an artifact of the capture tool's CSV exporting, and not actually sent on the wire. Can you attach the actual pcap files instead? And, have you tried checking the server's Samba logs yet? (Use [global] log level = 1 passdb:5 auth:5 auth_audit:5.)

SMBv2/v3 always runs in 'raw' mode over TCP port 445, with no NetBIOS in sight. (The older SMBv1 can be run over either TCP/445 or TCP/139.) But the port is not actually important for authentication at all – it's done entirely at SMB level, not at NetBIOS (session/transport) level.



You should check whether both sides agree on which authentication protocols should be used. Specifically:





  1. whether Samba accepts NTLMv1 or requires NTLMv2, according to smb.conf:



    [general]
    ;ntlm auth = ntlmv1-permitted
    ntlm auth = ntlmv2-only


    (Previous versions used yes to allow NTLMv1, no to require NTLMv2.)




  2. whether Windows sends NTLMv1 or v2, according to secpol.msc:



    Security Settings
    └─ Local Policies
    └─ Security Options
    └─ Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
    ( ) Send LM & NTLM
    ( ) Send NTLM response only
    (*) Send NTLMv2 response only



You won't see PAM "auth" messages in the server logs, because PAM authentication would require the plaintext password, which the client does not reveal. Instead, Samba handles authentication internally and only on success calls PAM to do various other checks.



Instead, search for the smbd daemon's own logs. You may want to enable logging = syslog or logging = systemd so that they always go to a standard location; but by default they're kept in /var/log/samba instead.

  • Thank you so much! It works now. I just changed Windows negotiation of NTLMv2. So it was a windows setting after all... I spent like 8 hours on this I was pretty stumped. I was looking for some sort of negotiation error, but there is none in the Wireshark protocol display. In any case, I really appreciate your help!

    Nov 23 '18 at 14:02










  • Unfortunately, at least as far as I know, the two NTLM versions aren't exactly negotiated as such – the packets only differ in how the challenge/response is generated... (It's an old and clunky protocol that began in MS-DOS as "LM" and just has a thick layer of paint on top.) If you can, set all hosts to use NTLMv2 only – it's somewhat more secure and that's already the default in new OS versions.

  • Thank you so much! It works now. I just changed Windows negotiation of NTLMv2. So it was a windows setting after all... I spent like 8 hours on this I was pretty stumped. I was looking for some sort of negotiation error, but there is none in the Wireshark protocol display. In any case, I really appreciate your help!

  • Unfortunately, at least as far as I know, the two NTLM versions aren't exactly negotiated as such – the packets only differ in how the challenge/response is generated... (It's an old and clunky protocol that began in MS-DOS as "LM" and just has a thick layer of paint on top.) If you can, set all hosts to use NTLMv2 only – it's somewhat more secure and that's already the default in new OS versions.
