The SMB connector is used to communicate with network file shares using the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol, which is a dialect of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.
This connector allows access to a file share as a specific network user configured in the connector. A Share Path is defined through the SMB properties tab as the path that appears as the root of the files accessible through the connector. Files and folders at or below the Share Path are accessible while those above are not.
The connector will attempt to use the highest dialect set by the Max Smb Version and will negotiate down to the Min Smb Version until a dialect is selected that both the client and the server support.
A list of additional properties that can be added using "Additional SMB Properties" is available at https://jcifs.samba.org/src/docs/api/overview-summary.html#scp
To enable debugging for the underlying SMB library, select SMB: in the Include Debug Options found in Administration > Logs. Debug log messages are written to the standard debug log.
If running Cleo Harmony in FIPS mode, the FIPS mode option must be enabled for the connection to work correctly. When the SMB connector is running in FIPS mode the maximum protocol version is set to SMB 1 and the "jcifs.smb.client.useExtendedSecurity" is disabled as it requires ciphers that are not supported in FIPS.
NOTE:
- The SMB connector currently supports SMB 1 (NT LM 0.12), SMB2.02, SMB2.1, SMB3.0, SMB3.0.2, and SMB3.1.1
