Can't access shares that I have permissions for
Hello I have set a password for the admin account, and I know I got it right, cause I can open the files from http, and I can manage the NAS in the web admin system. But I am unable to access...
Thnx, stopping the credential manager service did the trick :)
Hey, thanks for replying. Am on Windows 10, trying to navigate using Windows Explorer. Can see the files through http, as e.g. in Microsoft Explorer.
Is FTP an option perhaps? A simple ftp to the ip address says Connection refused.
I'm not sure I quite understand this part, though: "which account are you using to log in to the Duo when you are trying this?"
You can (should) use Windows Explorer, it works fine usually.
When you browse to the NAS, \\{nas}\share, Windows would have asked for credentials. If you did not enter a NAS user, then it would try guest, which would have limited access. Perhaps this happened?
Open Windows Credentials Manager and remove the NAS entry. Add a new entry for the NAS, using NAS credentials (username and password - admin should work fine).
