Nautilus file manager failed to connect to samba share with user without password

[Max Vasin]

Ubuntu 23.10

nautilus:
  Installed: 1:45~rc-1ubuntu1

I expected successful connection to a samba share with specific user without password.

I have home samba server running on ubuntu server. It provides one share with disabled anonymous access but with a user without password (blank). Windows explorer, mac finder and other clients works fine, even terminal smbclient, but then i try to connect with nautilus from ubuntu desktop as "registered user" but leave password blank -> i got "invalid argument". When i create another samba user on the server with a password - connection was successful.
