sussox Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Im trying to use a AFP-share on a linux-server as storage. When trying to connect (add share) all i get is: "There credentials are not valid". I can connect fine to the share in the Finder, but only after enabling "Connect to AFP shares with unencrypted passwords" like this Maybe something similar is needed in retrospect?

Mayoff Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 What format are you using when you type the path to the share? Are you using a username and password? What does the operations log say? What does the OS X console say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussox Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 tried both: afp://servername.domain.com/share and afp://servername.domain.com/share/ I´m using both Username and password. Operations log: can not connect to the network volume: err = -1017 Console log: Apr 3 10:13:01 sussox com.retrospect.RetroEngine[51]: #1> can not connect to the network volume: err = -1017 Apr 3 10:13:01 sussox Retrospect[19483]: AddSourceController::clickAddNASAdd exception: RefStorageVolumesContainer::AddSharedVolume; Credentials invalid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Are you able to connect using a SMB:// connection? Does the share name contain spaces? Try a share name without spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussox Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) I only have AFP on the linux-server. No spaces in the name. Share name is: Backup (and i tried both backup and Backup) I suspect this has something to do with encrypted afp (as ive enabled clear-text login in the Finder, se the link in the first post) Can the same be done with retrospect somehow?

sussox Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 New progress on this! I reconfigured my AFP-server (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) so support encrypted afp-connections. And now i can access it from Retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
