ReadyNAS Photos troubleshooting tips
If you're having problems getting ReadyNAS Photos to work, see if any of the following tips will help. 1. If you are in User or Domain security mode, and you don't have "public" or "guest" access ...
Same problem here. But I got it solved after some trail and error.
Working in the IT business for 20+ years, now, got me convinced that software design glitches loom everywhere.
Obviously there seems to be an authentication problem, here. So I started altering the NAS password for my ReadyNAS Photo user.
What I found out is that the authentication engine either ignores or misinterprets non-letter and non-digit characters in a password.
Actually, I had the same issue before when trying to set the NAS's admin's password containing special characters.
So only A..Z, a..z, and 0..9 are allowed in the NAS's password scheme.
Hope this helps,
Patrick
