Opening shares from Credential Manager 11 March 2022, 06:47

Hello. I am trying to connect to Windows shares from within Network Scanner. I have added several user/password combos within the Credential Manager and have changed the Workstation Authentication option to Specific account, and Try all Login-Password pairs.

When I attempt to open the Windows share, I am prompted by Windows for credentials. If I enter an appropriate user/password combo manually, I see the share contents.

I am running Win10 21h2 on a Windows 2016 domain and using the latest version of Network Scanner.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Any credentials added under the Credential Manager are used for scanning, i.e. enumerating shares and checking their status.

When you open a share from the Network Scanner app, it simply launches Windows Explorer to open that share. Since Windows Explorer is unauthenticated, you see the credentials prompt.

As far as I know there is no way to pass a user name and password to Windows Explorer to access a share.
