    More on this.

    I managed to access the shares by doing the following in NAS web GUI:

    - Accounts/Users: I created a user with same credentials as the PC-USER I am logging with under windows 10

    - I assigned the created user to a group allowed read/write

     

    Now, I can access my NAS shares under windows 10

     

    However, for me, this is not a fix.

    Under Accounts/Authenthification, I have "Account type" set as "Local Users".

    I need, even if not recommended, to access the NAS through the NAS local admin account. The way I do it know is not possible.

    Also, ehy windows 10 is not able to negociate the prompt for user/password when accessing my NAS despite I set the "Authenthification" to "Local Users" in NAS

     

    For me, it seems clearly an issue with the NAS and how it is exposing things to windows 10

     

    PS: I am under last OS 6.9.1
