Error accessing private / secure user shares on unRAID 6 from Windows 8/8.1

[jbartlett]

As with beta10, I'm not able to access Private disk shares with beta10a.

 

I created a new private share and granted myself R/W access, no cache. Navigating to it via Win8.1, Windows said that access was denied and prompted me for my credentials. I added them and was still denied.

Same with secured shares. I can access but when I try to create a directory, Windows tells me that I need permission to perform this action though I've been set to R/W.

Working fine for me on Windows 8.1 and private share. Try telnet in and see if it lets you make a folder. That will help tell you if its permissions or maybe a checkdisk is in order.

You can also do an ls -l to see permissions and who owns the main folder and folders/files. Sometimes nobody:users owns vs the account you are using in windows.

jbartlett,

 

Does this issue persist for you still?  If so, please create a post under defect reports so that I can help you and track the issue.  Thanks!

Update:  The issue has to do with how Windows tries to specify the localhost of your workstation as the "domain" for the connection.  You need to type the name of your tower followed by a / and then your username.

 

E.g:

 

tower/jbartlett

 

Marking solved and dropping you a PM to make sure you see this ;-)

[jbartlett]

Thanks for the PM, I didn't know that this was forked out into it's own support thread.

 

Unfortunately, I can't duplicate currently as it now works perfectly. Murphy's Law and all that.

 

Mentioning the machine name, I've been connecting to my UNRAID server via the IP address for the past year because my PC won't find it when I refer to it as "NAS". Which also suddenly works...

So I just ran into the same issue and as above I can connect fine using the IP address but not the server name, any solutions to this yet?

Have you guys perused this?  Sounds like credential caching...
