  • 1.  smb1 protocol and AIX samba 4.16.5 server

    Posted Fri January 06, 2023 10:22 AM
    Hi, 
    We have few very legacy windows 2003 servers where sap jobs are puling files from it and ftp/copy those sap jobs to aix samba server shared folder. As soon as we upgraded our samba on AIX server to Samba 4.16.5 version, those sap jobs are keep failing. As smb1  protocol is depreciated in newer Samba level. We are not in a moment at least for now to upgrade those legacy windows 2003 servers. Here my queries are, is there any workaround to adjust those smb1 protocol with newer samba version? Is there any other workaround to ftp/copying those sap jobs to aix samba server so that script can pull up those sap jobs from legacy windows 2003 server and ftp copy can be run without any issue?

    / # smbstatus

    Samba version 4.16.5

    / # oslevel -s
    7200-05-02-2114

    Let me know if any workaround or temp approach we can follow.

    Thanks

    Have you tried configuring SMB1 for Samba.

    Looks like SMB1 is still there in Samba 4.16 and not completely removed. It is disabled by default since 4.11

    You may want to look at following articles.

    Hi Sanket,
    Thanks for those links. 
    So to configure SMB1 for samba in aix samba server, do I need to add any particular option in smb.conf file?
    Let me know, so I can add that option or line in smb.conf to try it.
    Thanks,
