I’m trying to setup an network drive using the Ignition manual. I am able to setup a drive that doesn’t need credentials and everything works correctly. The drive that needs credentials seems to be having a problem. I copied the config from the manual but maybe I didn’t get them pasted into the correct section? I have verified that the credentials have read/write access to the network location.

If anyone comes back to this on Windows, the Ignition service cannot be run under the LocalSystem account when using credentials for network drives. This is a limitation of the Tanuki Wrapper. [wrapper.share.\<n\>.\* Properties - Java Service Wrapper](https://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/prop-share-general.html#account)  
Use a virtual service account, or named user account instead of LocalSystem for wrapper.ntservice.account and the credential mapping of the network drive should work.
