Now all windows users get network access credentials prompt when trying to access a share for which same users have always had access as part of a group of users defined on the readynas.
Network access permission box for users is ticked and this has always worked previously - on all previous versions of OS6, OS4.2.x and 4.1.x. I have never had these prompts before and of course the credentials of the user entered in this dialog box are not accepted (no suprise there)
Now I need to grant each user network access by ticking the individual user's name on the network access tab. This effectively renders the use of groups of users on the readynas useless. Simple to solve,but....
Why is this broken now, this cannot be by design?
Hello!
I have absolutelly the same problem.
Group "users" now doesn't grant permissions for users to access shared folder.
This bug must be fixed...
I have the same problem. The only changes to the 104 was the update from 6.2 to 6.4. I can not access my ReadyNas 104 from Windows if users are assigned to a group. I have tried adding a new group but did not help. The only way to access shares is to allow each user access to the share.
