To Set up Authentication for Data Security
You can set up authentication for your USB device so that network clients will be
required to enter the username and password when accessing the USB disk.
1.
In the
Sharing Account
section, choose
Use Default Account
or
Use New Account
.
The user name is
admin
and the password is the login password for the default
account. If your choose
Use New Account
, you can create a new username and a
password.
Note:
For Windows users, do not set the sharing username the same as the Windows username. Otherwise, Windows
credential mechanism may cause the following problems:
• If the sharing password is also the same as the Windows password, authentication will not work since the
Windows system will automatically use its account information for USB access.
• If the sharing password is different from the Windows password, the Windows system will be unable to
remember your credentials and you will always be required to enter the sharing password for USB access.
2.
Enable authentication to apply the account you just set.
• If you want to enable authentication for all folders, simply leave
Share All
and
Enable Authentication
turned on.
