This can be selected at configure +time with either of the options: + +--with-smb1-server +--without-smb1-server + +By default (without either of these options set) Samba +is configured to include SMB1 support (i.e. --with-smb1-server +is the default). When Samba is configured without SMB1 support, +none of the SMB1 code is included inside smbd except the minimal +stub code needed to allow a client to connect as SMB1 and immediately +negotiate the selected protocol into SMB2 (as a Windows server also +allows). + +None of the SMB1-only smb.conf parameters are removed when +configured without SMB1, but these parameters are ignored by +the smbd server. This allows deployment without having to change +an existing smb.conf file. + +This option allows sites, OEMs and integrators to configure Samba +to remove the old and insecure SMB1 protocol from their products. + +Note that the Samba client libraries still support SMB1 connections +even when Samba is configured as --without-smb1-server. This is +to ensure maximum compatibility with environments containing old +SMB1 servers. + Bronze bit and S4U support with MIT Kerberos 1.20 ------------------------------------------------- |
