How to set up shared folder with password protected in Active Directory environment.
-
What you mean add a password to a folder that is outside of AD?
Like a password on an Excel document, but on a folder?

Yes.

I'm not sure that this is possible via Windows permissions.
Are your AD permissions only allowing specific staff access to the folder(s) or just the contents inside? -

AD permissions are in and working. They want to add another password on TOP of AD

I already told them that our AD permission is fine. But they still want me to look for it, If we can do something

Not easyI can see password protecting individual files, if they're accounting files or whatever, but adding a second password just to do so in the name of "security" is idiotic!

zip the folder and password it? this will create lots of other fun problems but it would solve your immediate one

Yes, but that means that when people are done, they have to rezip the folder and re-set the password on the zip. That won't work.
-
Implement a quick FTP server and have the folder location redirect to ftp:\folderlocation.location.com (internal address) This would cause a ton of other issues but they would be prompted for a username and password.

@thanksaj amongst a few other problems lol - but it would password the folder

No Sir, redirection is not allowed. They need to upload the files manually -Manual connecting to FTP server.

was laughing this morning with your reaction on my post.
I told them that, we will only make things complicated with their request.
-
If you manage to figure out a way to achieve their request let us know - I'm curious
