Windows 10: Password protected share able to access without authentication

We have configured samba with password protected share folders. The problem what we are facing is, due to windows caching authentication is not asking when we change the password .For example Share has been configured with user name and password, when we trying to access the share, authentication prompt is getting and able to access with configured user name and password. Once password has been modified, expected while trying to access the share, should ask authentication prompt and access only with modified password. But share was able to access without authentication prompt.

• On accessing samba share from ubuntu i don’t face any problems. Once we unmount the share after using it, it is prompting for username and password for the second time.
• But in windows when I access samba share for the first time, second time it is not prompting for the username and password simply the samba shared is getting accessible.
• I just want windows machine to ask password every time when the user closes the share, instead of doing “net use * /delete” every time, and we can’t request user to do this every time.
• I tried below steps to disable windows cache , but still I am facing observing same behavior.

Click Start >Run > gpedit.msc

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options

Set "Interactive Logon: Number of Previous Logins To Cache" value to ‘0’



Kindly let us know any way to fix this issue?

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

 

Network share ignores password protected sharing


I am trying to make a shared folder on my network that is only accessible to me and cannot be viewed by other users.When I create the share, no matter how I set permissions, the folder becomes accessible to everyone on the network. This is the case whether I use a homegroup or no homegroup, password protected sharing off or on. In fact, the only way to not have everyone able to access the share is to manually add a deny permission to Everyone.... and this of course results in nobody being able to access the share.

I am running Windows 10 Education. I have another PC running Windows 10 Home that works correctly with password protected sharing enabled.

 

Can't access shared folder with password protection on


As I said in the title I can't access a shared folder with password protection on but I can with password protection off.

Also I can't stop sharing, when I click the button to stop sharing nothing happens.

Thanks in advance.
