Cause

The two main causes for inSync Client to display the authentication window are as follows:

  • Enforce Restore Authentication is enabled on the Server Side.

  • Incorrect time as per the time zone on the user machine.

Resolution

Contact your inSync Administrator to verify if the Enforce Restore Authentication setting is enabled for inSync Client. You need to enter your credentials on the authentication window if the setting is enabled.

If the restore authentication setting is not the reason, ensure correct time is set on your system according to the time zone and try to restore again. You may have to restart the inSync Client server after correcting the time on your system.


💡 Tip

To enable Enforce Restore Authentication for you inSync Cloud, contact Druva Support.
