Greetings,
I have attached an SSD to my router (Asus RT-AX82U with latest Asus firmware-not Merlin). I am using fully patched Windows 11. I am setting up to access the storage from the LAN and remotely.
I originally set up the storage with aiDisk. However I that program setup an FTP host which is no longer supported in the major browsers. I then setup aiCloud and was able to remotely access the storage using HTTPS.
The issue is the LAN. I accessed the storage from the LAN by entering \\192.168.xx.x. I was asked for a user name and password. I entered the credentials and was able to access the drive. I then closed/reopened File Explorer and entered the address for the drive. I was granted access to the drive without having to enter credentials. After restarting Windows, I was required to enter credentials; but after the first prompt, I once again didn't have to. That is not the behaviour I am looking for.
I opened Group Policy and changed cached credentials from 10 to 0 and I enabled requiring password to access network. Neither of those changes worked.
As noted above, I 'want' to be required to enter credentials each time I want to access the drive. Any help in making this so would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Graham
