AFP Encrypted Password Support

Post by bishopdonmiguel »

I run Max OS X 10.4.10 and use a TS-109 (FW 1.1.1 0831T) with AFP service. Whenever I connect to an AFP share, I get a message that my logon credentials are being sent in CLEAR TEXT. Can you enable password encryption for the AFP service? I am not sure what the QNAP AFP service is based on but I know this is a compile/service option in NETATALK. Thanks.

Hi Mate

We've already put this into our future release enhancement for AFP ID and Password encryption.
Currently please feel save to use it because normally your nas will be using at home under intranet.

But we will still improve the security section.

Hope you enjoy your QNAP NAS.
Rock n roll TS-409............
