This may be due to your Windows client, which restricts you to a single user for all shares mapped from a server.
If that's the case, you could add a second NIC or second IP address on the server. Then map one share via each IP address. Windows will treat each IP address as a different server. There are also applications out there (such as Citrix) that don't have such restrictions. Alan Robin Axelsson wrote:
I have successfully created two different shares that require different user authentications such that user A can only access share X but not Y and user B can only access share Y but not X. The problem I have is that I want to be able to access both shares at once from a Windows computer (XP and 2003 Server family). When I'm on a windows computer, is it possible to use multiple file sharing instances to that I can access both shares in the same session? As it is now, it seems like I can only access shares belonging to one user at a time. If I try to access a share belonging to the other user I get "Access Denied" instead of a login prompt. Does anyone know how to reauthenticate so as to switch user without rebooting, in case multiple instances wouldn't be possible?
