how is your component configured?  are you using domain admin credentials for the component context credentials?

Dear Symantec,

Do you know why I might be getting "User credentials cannot be used for local connections" from this component when running the Service Desk Request Access to Network Share Self-Service Workflow?

2014-09-18_15h18_01.png

I have set up everything that I think that I need, such as:

  1. A share on the server.
  2. A Shared Folder in Active Directory Users and Computer with a Share Manager in AD (who is in Workflow AD Sync).
  3. A User who has a Manager in AD (who is in Workflow AD Sync).
  4. Three AD Security Groups, one with Read-only, one with Read-Change and one with Read-Change-Full access to the aforementioned share.

I cannot see what else I need to do and there is no documentation that says what is required.

Kindest regards,

QuietLeni
