Title:
  nautilus connect to server cannot connect to smb with ntlm security

Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  At work, there are two samba servers I need to connect to. One of the servers connects without issues, the other does not. Symptoms: error message 
  "This location could not be displayed.
  You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of “folder on server.domain.com”

  The connection is made: an icon with an eject icon is visible in the
  left nautilus pane. The right nautilus pane remains empty.

  I found the reason. The server is using ntml, and not ntmlv2. I can
  connect to the server with the command line using the option
  "sec=ntlm".

  Similar to OSX, Ubuntu should also connect graphically without issues
  on these servers that still use an old security protocol.
