Confused about credentials.
I have received conflicting info from the Technical Support folks and I am getting inconsistent results in our testing.
Issue #1 Read Only share
The intention is to establish a ‘read only’ type share. All data is available but no changes allowed.
Two shares
Share 1 with SMB and Rsync access and read only access for all but admin.
Share 2 with SMB and Rsync access and read only access for all but admin.
Using FileExplorer I cannot access Share 1 – get a pop-up window from Windows Security asking for Username and Password. Whos’ username and password – the windows user or ReadyNAS?
Using FileExplorer I can access Share 2 – no popup window and any attempt to change the info is thwarted. That is the expected result.
I do not know how I get these two different results.
Issue #2 – More than one Admin?
The technical support folks say that there can only be one ‘admin’ for the ReadyNAS system. That individual must logon via the local GUI. Absent a valid local GUI logon the system cannot be managed and configured.
Is this correct or are there other circumstances that the CSR did not understand?
Ignore the post.
Apparently I was the victim of an untrained CSR. I found the correct answer.
