SMB Signing in JLAN

[fjelmer]

Our application has a SMB/CIFS server based on JLAN library. Recently we got be informed that your SMB/CIFS server runs with 'SMB Signing' disabled. I can not found in the documentation (i.e. JLAN_Server_Programmers_Guide.pdf and JLAN_Server_Installation_Guide.pdf) any information about enabling SMB Signing.

How to enable SMB Signing? Or isn't it supported by JLAN?

Just to be sure: You are using the JLAN library independant of the Alfresco application as the basis for your own solution.

As far as I can see, the JLAN Library has not had an update released as a standalone library since 2009. The documents you are referring to have not been updated since 2011 based on what I found in the source control system. To the best of my knowledge the JLAN library has been subsumed in the Alfresco application / product when the project was acquired and now only exists as an embedded part of it.

Looking at the source code I can see that settings to enable SMB signing exist in client-side code, though I can't confirm if the resulting behaviour is the same as the most recent specifications require it to be. I cannot find any server-side mention of it, so would assume it is not supported.
