Can't configure SAMBA Share

Third party integrations
1

Hello.
Installed a SAMBA Share Addon, but can’t edit config file.

Here is.

username: uiot
password: gdw7JC7hg1az3QC
workgroup: WORKGROUP
local_master: true
enabled_shares:
  - addons
  - addon_configs
  - backup
  - config
  - media
  - share
  - ssl
compatibility_mode: false
apple_compatibility_mode: true
server_signing: default
veto_files:
  - ._*
  - .DS_Store
  - Thumbs.db
  - icon?
  - .Trashes
allow_hosts:
  - 10.0.0.0/8
  - 172.16.0.0/12
  - 192.168.0.0/16
  - 169.254.0.0/16
  - fe80::/10
  - fc00::/7

Pass is strong, but I get this when trying to Save:

In logs I see this:

2026-03-08 02:49:47.881 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.hassio.handler] Timeout on /addons/core_samba/options/validate request
2026-03-08 02:49:47.882 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.hassio] Failed to to call /addons/core_samba/options/validate -

How CAN I fix that to make Samba works properly?

Installation type: HomeAssistant OS

Have you tried to remove the

apple_compatibility_mode: true

and

server_signing: default

And add this " "

veto_files:
  - "._*"
  - ".DS_Store"
  - Thumbs.db

Tried this:

username: uiot
password: gdw7JC7hg1az3QC
workgroup: WORKGROUP
local_master: true
enabled_shares:
  - addons
  - addon_configs
  - backup
  - config
  - media
  - share
  - ssl
compatibility_mode: false
veto_files:
  - ":._*"
  - ".DS_Store"
  - "Thumbs.db"
  - "icon?"
  - ".Trashes"
allow_hosts:
  - 10.0.0.0/8
  - 172.16.0.0/12
  - 192.168.0.0/16
  - 169.254.0.0/16
  - fe80::/10
  - fc00::/7

Error is the same.

Where do you get your “Info” from ? , and Why do you have to “edit” the default settings ?

5

I don’t edit default settings. I only changed username and pass and got this error when hitting save

I tried your solve, tried other passwords. No result.

6

What do you mean, now you showed me 2 different Settings , And not what i even suggested, where/how did you Edit the Settings ?

Please update to OS 17.1
in CLI
ha OS Update 17.1
AND Update your CORE ! … Also (after OS)

Then try to install Samba Share again , and show a picture of your Configuration Page, Not a file, but where you Edit Your Settings

Or Install an “Older” Version of Samba Share, which is compatible with your OS/CORE

Ok, updated Core and OS. Reinstall SAMBA.
Here are a shots:

And when I hit Save button, I gen the same error “Can’t save configuration”. What am I doing wrong?

8

The username and pasword are they for your HA server? an i have only mij local network as allowed host.

9

I think that it should be just for samba settings, not from HA…
Should I put there my HA credentials?

10

No, you’re right, it’s the login name for the Samba share on the HA server.
The only difference I see is the number of networks you’re giving access to.

Solved.
ha security options --pwned=False in Terminal helps a lot.
