Access shared folder with local user in a domain server

Hello.

I've this situation:

  • A WIN10 acting as server. It's in a domain.
  • There are shared folders here, one public and another accesible by a domain group.
  • I wan't to change this to only one folder accesible by a simple local user auth, not in domain. Like "myuser" "mypassword-1231231" or whatever.

How I can do it?
If I create a local user and configure in the folder, when I try to access, I get only an error. I wan't to get the "typical" prompt asking for user/password, despite PC is in domain.

I read that changing an option in advanced network options (unable the auto-login) will work, but I haven't this option (because the system is on a domain, I guess).

Many many thanks!!

    I have met the same problem with a shared folder in Windows server, shared to a local account like as "fileshareuser" other than everyone, because I just do not want "everyone" can get access to it. And I tyied to connect this shared folder from a Windows 10 client, I met the same error as: 154434-2.png

    So please tell us how to solve this issue, thank you very much.
