Connect to File Share with Entra ID and Microsoft Entra Domain Services from local network

Question

Hi,

I want to get access to my File Shares in Azure trough the UNC Path from my local device in my local network.

In my Azure I have Entra ID configured and Microsoft Entra Domain Services.

The VMs that are domain joined don't have any issues to connect to the file share.

My local device is not domain joined.

When I try using one of the accounts which I use to Login in the VMs to get access to the file share locally it doesn't work.

I tested if the Port 445 is available and I get a response.

But the moment I try to login I get the message wrong Password even if my credentials are correct.

I tried to use AzureAD******@domain.com and without the ******@domain.com with the right password as credentials, but I always get that my password isn't right.

In the IAM configuration the Roles are defined correctly as in the docs.

Am I doing something wrong?

Could you help me?

I am also having the same issue, I can map the drive using access keys but that is not what we desire. We want to use AD credentials to authenticate to Azure File Shares. Mapping to a domain joined PCs shows no issues using different accounts that have proper level of access defined in IAM
