add password protected unc network shares to server


Recommended Posts

Hey keep getting access denied errors while trying to add network shares to server because my network is password protected. Is there somewhere I can enter the network password? I have tried to disable password protected shares in network advanced options but does not seem to make any difference. Any ideas?

If you're running the server on Windows 8 - search for "Manage Windows Credentials", you can enter your username and password there.

Just added a generic certificate but still not working "access denied" Windows 8.1 on server and client. I can access the share fine from the server just not through media browser server

Are you 100% sure the user with which you can access the share is the same as the one that is running Media Browser Server?

No I used a different user account ( but on the share i allowed everyone access)for the server will set server back up with main PC username password. See if I can access shares

In Windows 7, if I had an issue with network share access, I would remove any saved credentials, if there is none, I would make sure there are no mapped drives. Then I would remap the share with the user name and password, Windows will ask you for the user and pass and made sure to check "Remember Credentials". I haven't used Windows 8 much but I can only think its very similar in this area.

 

This was before I started using MBT

Hi!

 

I'm running Media Browser Server on Ubuntu and I can't access shares on samba share which are user and passowrd protected.

How do I setup server so I can input username and password?

you could locally mount them in ubuntu and add them that way, and then in the server setup path substitution (/mnt/drive --> \\servername\sharename)
