hi
I'm having some difficulties getting security to work correctly with windows and a DNS 323.
I have a windows 2008 AD domain of which all my PC's are a member.
A DNS 323 with Firmware Version 1.08 (Firmware Date: 08/05/2009).
Most of my PC's are server 2008, Server 2008 R2 or windows 7.
I want I would like to do is:
have one drive set as public access, accessible by all with out the need to enter credentials.
The second I would like to limit to admins only.
If any user tries to access the second drive and the domain username and password matches a username and password of a user on the DNS323 that is in the admin group i would like them to get access to the drive with out the need to enter credentials.
I set up drive 1 giving "all accounts" read write access, and added the public account to the users group.
I set up the second drive by granted that group read write access for the admin Group.
I added account "myAdminAccount" to the DNS and made it a member of the admin group.
In my AD domain I have the user domain\myAdminAccount, the password matches the myAdminAccount on the DNS.
With FW 1.06 drive one would work, drive 2 would not, If i was logged on to the domain i would not need credentials to access the frist drive, but even when logged on as "domain\myAdminAccount", i could not access the second drive with out entereing credentials with the username "\myAdminAccount".
I decide to try FW 1.08
now accessing both drives requires a username and password.
I'm a bit confused as to how the credential are supposed to work.
I was hoping someone here might know how I can achieve the desired configuration?
And if there are any new issues with FW 1.08?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

I have tried a couple of things with no luck.
I have upgraded to a later version of 1.08 (the link on the Dlink support page goes to a beta)
I now have Firmware Version : 1.08 (Firmware Date : 12/18/2009)
I tried loading up secpol.msc on a windows PC and setting
Network security: LAN manager authentication level to - send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security when negotiated
Still, even with public account enabled and added to the users group, when i try to connect to the dns323 i am asked for a username password.
This did not happen in FW 1.06.
Again any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I don't know if you're aware of it - I'm guessing not - but the DNS-323 does not support active directory.

Hey fordem
I did realise that.
However I thought that if "all accounts" were given access to a share, any device connecting to the DNS323 should require a username and pass to connect. This was working with FW 1.6, however now i need to authenticate to get access.
I had also assumed that if I created a user on the DNS323 that matched (same username and password) a domain account that domain account would not need to authenticate with the DNS to get elevated privileges, if i added the accoung to the admin group.
Should these senarios be working?
Maybe i should go back to FW 1.6 is that possible (i should atleast get the annon access back then)?
I see that FW 1.8 has support for NFS, would this solve some some of my problems?
Thanks
Edit - some changes were lost (i think cos of Firefox plugin 'after the deadline')
