Just a heads up that I installed Lion today (OS 10.7) and I get an error when trying to connect to my 809U-RP via AFP. It says that the current version of AFP on the device is not compatible. I am though able to connect via SMB.

Just a heads up. Please see pic for error message.

Interesting, thanks for testing.
@QNAP: please note that 10.7 compatibility is currently not on the Netatalk developer roadmap.

Just an authentication problem?

DHX2 is already supported by netatalk, QNAP just have to provide the UAM.

Hi there,

Thanks a lot for the information. We will keep an eye on this and see how we should do to make it compatible with the future 10.7.

Priority ? Mac OS X Lion is not even out yet. It doesn't seem that urgent, is it ?

Is there any known workaround to connect to a QNAP NAS via afp using OSX Lion?

Well it may not seem like a big issue unless you are an Apple Developer testing your software with a QNAP workflow. Then it makes your hardware pretty useless....

QNAP - please issue a fix for this asap.

There is a well working solution to turn "DHCAST128" support on.
Just go and check the devforums: https://devforums.apple.com/

Urgent? Maybe not. Important? Definately. How would you feel in Windows 7 (or, insert your OS of choice here) had been released and you were unable to connect to your shiny QNAP NAS box after upgrading since there was no warning of lack of support? I would hope that within the development dungeons of QNAP at least one or two engineers are using Macs to test connectivity.

If QNAP really care about their user base, they should be members of the Apple Developer Program. This will give them access to the Apple Developer Forums where this issue has been discussed and a work around published. However, it's a workaround, not a solution.
Apple Developer Forums wrote:The most likely cause for this problem is that Lion disables support for the "DHCAST128", which is commonly used by NAS boxes but is, in our opinion, insufficiently secure
And the workaround:
Apple Developer Forums wrote: To turn on "DHCAST128" support please do the following:
1) Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and do:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
Now restart your computer.
2) From Finder, select an AFP server, or use "Connect To...". This will cause the AFP Client to create the full preferences file
3) Launch Terminal again and do:

Code: Select all

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
sudo chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
Now restart your computer.
Note: To add a "DHCAST128" to the disable list, use

Code: Select all

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array-add "DHCAST128"

But you cannot use this workaround from 'Recovery HD' of Lion... :(

There is still no working solution for TM backups of OSX Lion on an QNAP TMShare?
