Macs, AFP, and active directory
Using OS6 with active directory mode (as most machines are Windows on a domain.) AFP is also enabled on the readynas (for time machine which works fine.)
I have a macbook (older - running 10.6.8) that can access "home" shares via SMB just fine, but can't access those same "home" shares via AFP. It's always "invalid credentials" when trying to connect to the server (AFP.) I've tried various ways of typing in the credentials (domainname\username, username@FQDN, username), but all fail for any share except the time machine share when trying over AFP.
Is it possible to access home (and other) shares using AFP on the readyNAS when the readynas is in active directory mode? If so, what am I doing wrong? If it's NOT possible (by design or limitation), then why would the readynas make "home" shares always available over AFP when in active directory mode?
Thanks
Gary

- AFP works just fine with home folders on 10.9.4, I'm using a readycloud account though.
- This issue already has been reproduced and is fixed in a future firmware update.
That's nice. Not very helpful, but still nice.xeltros wrote: AFP works just fine with home folders on 10.9.4, I'm using a readycloud account though.
Thank you for the answer to my query.mdgm wrote: This issue already has been reproduced and is fixed in a future firmware update. mdgm wrote: This issue already has been reproduced and is fixed in a future firmware update.
I might have overlooked this but was the AFP Connection issue resolved with the 6.1.9 update?
I know my ReadyNAS Has just been sitting there doing nothing for about a month now since connecting via AFP was not working for me either.- If it was 6.1.9 I would have said so.
it is fixed in a future firmware update.
