SMB 2 and 3 not working. Only SMB 1 works. S2 with 15.11 on Mac OS

SMB 2 and 3 supposed to be supported but always fails indexing a library on a NAS. Have to switch SMB1 on to enable indexing. Once done switch off and will load and play library.

Synology DS723+

DSM 7.2.1-69057 update 3

Mac Sonama with S2 build 15.11.

Anyone solved this? I read a post about it all working fine, but not for me. 100s of posts out there.

Corry,

To confirm, your S2 app requires NTLM v1 for authentication, which is why the other referenced post with a different issue was resolved, as it downgraded and used NTLM v1. I can confirm that turning on SMB2 with NTLM V1 using S2 solves the issue. Your S2 app needs to implement NTLM v2 authentication to be compliant with the later standards and to prevent the usage of SMB1 and NTLM v1.

Summary

It is an S2 issue with NTLM authentication over SMB v2 or higher. Enabling NTLM v1 solved the library sync issue. Enabling NTLM v1 is a security risk which is well referenced online by all software developers.

Having said that, if your NAS will run Plex, there’s no need for anything else!

It’s a background Windows service based on HTTP. Porting that to anywhere else would probably be a load of work.

 

Porting the SonosLibraryService is trivial if the target platform can run .NET, which most can these days. Decompiling it is easy, then recompiling it for the target .NET would be straightforward. The only tricky bit is setup, ie telling the underlying Sonos household about a new instance.
