Bug Description

[Impact]

* It's impossible to use ACL-configured smb shares via gvfs (e.g. nautilus) as it logs in as an anonymous user by default.

[Test Case]

1. LDAP authentication for client & server.
2. SMB server with a share accessible to a certain ACL group or user.
3. A user (that should be allowed to access the share: is a member of a authorized group or is an authorized ACL user) accesses the share from a client using nautilus and smb:// URI.

[Regression Potential]

* Change already present upstream (introduced in version 1.23.90)
* I see no risks in backporting it.

[Other Info]

Original bug description:

Looks like the SMB backend does not support ACL rules while accessing remote shares.

The scenario looks like this:
1. LDAP authentication for client & server.
2. SMB server with a share accessible to a certain ACL group or user.
3. A user (that should be allowed to access the share: is a member of a authorized group or is an authorized ACL user) accesses the share from a client using nautilus and smb:// URI.

Expected result:
Access is granted to the resource.

Actual result:
Permission denied for accessing the resource in question.

Actual result:
No sign of ACL rules in the getfacl output.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

The attachment "trusty-gvfs_1.20.3-0ubuntu1.2.debdiff" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.

Hello Dariusz, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gvfs into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/1.20.3-0ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
