You reported this bug without package name, which made this bug hard to track. I've added the package that I think to be right for you so this bug can be seen by appropriate developers. However, there is a mistake in your bug description : it should not be possible to connect with all combinations of emptyness fields, since when there is no username/password required, nautilus don't ask anything, otherwise a username and a password is necessary. In some case, the password can be blank, but not the username. And the workgroup can be incorrect (or empty, as you ask in this bug) without preventing the connexion to work very well.

Therefore username cannot be blank, workgroup and password can be blank.
At the moment nautilus accept blank passwords, but not blank workgroups.
