September 24, 20196 yr Hi guys, I am sorry if that topic as been already discussed, but I didn't find a solution to my problem yet. I am running the latest unraid version and want to access several public smb shares with my windows 10 machine. But every time windows asks me to put in credentials. When I enter the credentials of my main user, I can access everything. But why am I even getting asked for that if the share is set to public?
September 25, 20196 yr Author Nevermind, I found the cause for my problem. I was getting asked for the credentials on my main machine, because its windows username was equal to a user created in unraid. Trying to connect to the share, windows apparently sends that username to unraid and because unraid found a user with this name, it wanted to get the corresponding password. In this case, you're not even able to connect as the user "nobody" as you would normally do to public shares without credentials. But maybe somebody can tell me why unraid / windows behaves like that?
