#5007 Unable to properly add domain user in Samba Windows File Sharing module

[srikar]

Hi,
I have an Ubuntu 16.04 server . Later installed Webmin 1.850 on the before mentioned Ubuntu machine. I am using Webmin on Firefox 54.0.1 browser. I wanted to create a share for a domain user in Active Directory through "Samba Windows File Sharing module" . I am trying to add the the domain user as a valid user from the users list shown in "Valid users" option. Whenever I select the domain user, it's not getting added properly as a valid user. For example consider "SAMDOM\user" in the user list of
Valid users option, when I select that user it's getting added as "SAMDOMuser" where '\' is getting removed. It results in invalid user. Can you please tell me why it is happening and what I need to do to overcome
this .Thanks in advance
Regards,
S.Srikar

Ok, I see the cause of this - it will be fixed in the next Webmin release.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for the quick response . Above fix works for
domain users but not for domain groups. Later made similar changes in
group_chooser.cgi file and tested . Currently it works for domain
groups also . Apart from that there are other options like "Create
with owner" and "Create with group" which are used during share
creation where same issue is occurring. Same fix is needed for them
too.
Regards,
S.Srikar.

What change did you make to group_chooser.cgi exactly?
