Windows permission for access to shared folder

you need to create users on OMV webgui whit same name and password that you use on windows.

Zitat von RayWC62

I am running OMV 6.7.1-2 on a RPi 4 with a 2 TB drive attached. I have my shared folder created and want to restrict access to it for all that can access the network. If I go in services and set SMB/CIFS shares to GUEST ALLOWED or GUESTS ONLY, everyone has full access to the folder. If I set it to NO , Windows file explorer requests network credentials of username and password; but no username and password is set in OMV for access. What would I put in? Why is user and password being asked when none were set?

[HOW-TO] Connect to OMV SMB shares with Windows 11

1. We need to create a user. In OMV goto Users >> Users >> Plus symbol and than click create.

Add a user and password (as an example I will use User BlueCoffeeand password 12345) than hit save and apply the settings at the top

2. Now we need to make a shared folder in OMV so go to Storage >> Shared Folders and click the plus symbol again

I am going to name the folder Media in this…

I did not know this....

I have [one] user in Windows 11, (my name) and a long ass password. OMV has user=docker,password=password [neither related to winders l/p] and works fine . Am I just lucky?

I had assumed the user that logs in on the initial mount is the "bridged" user for whatever windows user logs in the first place.

what @raulfg3 said is not true you can create any named user and password. All you are doing is sharing a folder why would it have to be the same username and password. My windows 11 is a anti bloatware mega mega lite no bullshit. there is not even a option to pick a named user yet it works fine.

No. raulfg3 is correct. Keep in mind there are many ways this can be done. One of the easier ways, from a LAN user's perspective, is to have their work station logon work transparently grant them access to the server.

If the exact same user + password is created on the server (OMV) AND the "users" group has access to a network share, the server will grant access without username / password dialog boxes. This method works with "most" Windows Clients and it allows a server Admin to differentiate share accesses between different users.

On the other hand a generic username + password entered into the credential manager (saved in the access dialog box) works as well. But this approach can't differentiate between different users. It's a generic server logon that grants the same access to all users.

You can make any username and password and just add it to the pop up box click remember me and job is done. by having the same name and password you save about 10 seconds of time. You don't HAVE too as stated. just saves about 10 seconds if you do.

There is a difference be "don't have to" and "is not true". BOTH ways work. "That" is the point.

Need is not true. "need is NOT both ways"

Need
noun
A condition or situation in which something must be supplied in order for a certain condition to be maintained or a desired state to be achieved.

MUST

hey I like using bold.

BlueCoffee If you didn't know it, @raulg3 is a Spaniard. Unless I miss my guess, English is his second language but he does a great job on the forum in English nonetheless. Along those lines, while newer to the forum, you're doing a good job of dealing with user questions as well.

So, let me put it this way:

Address the user's issue. When posting in a user's thread, don't try to call out other forum contributors unless they are grossly, and I do mean grossly, wrong. In this instance, that was not the case. No one was wrong. Both methods work. It's just a matter preference. As such, your opinion and @raulg3's opinion can be offered to the user, then let the user decide which method they want to use.

Fair enough apologies for the post. was at a funereal that day so was snappy I guess.
