"Logon Failure" when running executables on NAS
I have a Linux-based NAS running Samba with user-level password
protection (the same userid and password as Vista). I can browse files, etc., but I am unable to run any executable files. UAC prompts me for approval, but then give me a "Login failu unknown username or bad password" error. It must be a UAC issue because I have no problems when I turn UAC off, but I'd like to leave it enabled if possible. Anyone else experience this issue and have a solution? What exactly is Vista sending as the username and password when elevating an application via UAC? Maybe I could set up a dummy user on my NAS that reflects the user and password Vista is sending. Thanks. |
