Mount permissions issues

[kingrichard2005]

Hello, my team uses the following shared values to deploy an instance of samba-server to our local development clusters using Rancher Desktop. Some of us, including myself, are on Windows 10 and running into the below mount errors when deploying some of our applications, we've double checked all permissions and compared between working and non-working deployments to verify deployment and permissions configurations they are the same, but at this point we have not been able to trace the root cause.

We think this may just be due to a simple misconfiguration, but wanted to post the issue details on here to see if any one else as had similar issues deploying samba-server from Windows 10. I appreciate any info, please let me know if additional details are needed

For anyone who finds this, if it helps, I was able to resolve my issue by manually setting my samba server user below, for reasons TBD the helm-samba4 chart I mentioned earlier at --version 4.0.1.2 seems to not properly set the password for users you pass in like in the below example values. This required that I manually set the user from a shell in my samba server like this and only after doing this was my separate deployment able to connect without issue? Is there a reason I need to manually set my samba users this way even tho I specify them in my values?
