jcifs_java_implement_cifs

Sat Mar 29 23:13:29 EDT 2009 jcifs-1.3.8 RC4 has been implemented which eliminates the Java 1.5u7 requirement. JCIFS 1.3 should now work with Java 1.4 (as well as 1.2 did anyway). Thu Mar 12 14:22:47 EDT 2009 jcifs-1.3.7 Share security with Samba 3.0 was broken. This has been fixed. Wed Mar 11 20:22:46 EDT 2009 jcifs-1.3.5 Stand-alone DFS did not work with an IP address as opposed to a DNS or NetBIOS hostname. This issue has been fixed. Sun Mar 9 11:46:15 EDT 2009 jcifs-1.3.4 JCIFS 1.3.3 was accidentally compiled with Java 1.5. This release has been compiled with Java 1.4. Note that NTLMv2 still requires Java 1.5 update 7 for RC4. SMB parameter words were not decoded correctly (which were ultimately related to the fact that the WordCount of the SMB_COM_NT_CREATE_ANDX response is wrong because an extra 16 bytes for "offline files / client side caching (CSC)". Ultimately this caused an error with the SMB_COM_TREE_CONNECT_ANDX response of certain IBM clusters. This should now be fixed. The status codes and text for NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME (0xC0000122) and NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT (0xC000018B) have been added. Server capabilities in the SMB_COM_NEGOTIATE response were not being read correctly. This issue has been fixed. The documentation regarding the return value of renameTo has been fixed. Sun Jan 25 14:31:31 EST 2009 jcifs-1.3.3 If a jcifs.netbios.wins property is not supplied, the default jcifs.resolveOrder is now LMHOSTS,DNS,BCAST whereas previously it was LMHOSTS,BCAST,DNS. This is much more likely to eliminate annoying 6 second timeouts waiting for BCAST queries to timeout. An "Invalid parameter" error would occur if the RC4 Cipher was not available for NTLMv2. The logic has been adjusted so that the correct error is thrown. Note that RC4 is only available in Java 1.5 update 7 and later. Thus JCIFS 1.3 requires that version or NTLMv2 must be disabled. The NTLMSSP classes could try to load Cp850 which is not available in the standard JRE. This has been fixed. Added setLength method to NdrBuffer class. Mon Dec 22 13:30:39 EST 2008 jcifs-1.3.2 Querying Samba DFS links directly could fail due to a slight difference in Samba v. Windows DFS referrals. This issue has been fixed. Querying Samba DFS roots or paths under DFS links were not affected. Sat Nov 30 00:32:09 EST 2008 jcifs-1.3.1 The NtlmPasswordAuthentication constructor has been modified to canonicalize the username from DOMAIN\username or username@domain to username and set the domain separately. The getNTLMv2Response method has been adjusted to permit the targetInfo to be null. Minor changes to DFS have been applied that claim to prevent errors in certain DFS scenarios. The NTLM HTTP Filter was broken in 1.3.0. Turning off useExtendedSecurity reportedly fixes the issue. Note: The semantics of the fourth parameter of getNTLMv2Response has changed. Sat Oct 25 17:45:51 EDT 2008 jcifs-1.3.0 released NTLMv2 has been FULLY implemented and is now the default. Signatures without and without various NTLMSSP flags (e.g. NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_NTLM2) have been tested with Windows 2003 and Windows 2000. New default values are: jcifs.lmCompatibility = 3 jcifs.smb.client.useExtendedSecurity = true Note: The NTLM HTTP Filter does not and can never support NTLMv2 as it uses the main-in-the-middle technique which is specifically thwarted by factoring the NTLMSSP TargetInformation block into the computed hashes. A proper NTLMv2 HTTP authentication filter would require NETLOGON RPCs (or possibly some kind of Kerberos digest authentication like Heimdal uses). Sun Oct 19 23:25:45 EDT 2008 jcifs-1.2.25 The DcerpcHandle code to increase the stub size if alloc_hint was greater than stub.length was not being engaged properly which would result in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if the DCERPC response was larger than 0xffff. This has been fixed. Disabled decoding of NativeFileSystem field b/c it seems the iSeries implementation sends this field in ASCII even though Unicode is indicated. Fortunately the field is of no interest to anyone so we can simply omit decoding it. Added check in copyTo to prevent a possible thread lockup when server is disconnected during a copy. Force SMB_COM_TREE_CONNECT_ANDX service to always be what was passed to the constructor (default is '?????'). IBM iSeries apparently does not like explicitly specifying 'A:' which can occur on reconnect after an soTimeout. Wed Jul 23 13:35:20 EDT 2008 jcifs-1.2.24 The 2 line change that fixes stand-alond DFS was not in 1.2.23. Now it is. Sun Jul 20 22:28:40 EDT 2008 jcifs-1.2.23 Recent domain-based DFS proper broke stand-alone DFS. This has been fixed. Wed Jun 25 20:26:33 EDT 2008 jcifs-1.2.22 The SmbFileInputStream methods will now throw InterruptedIOExceptions where apppropriate whereas previously they would throw SmbExceptions with a root cause of TransportException with a root cause of InterruptedException. If SmbSession.send() throw an exception it could leave the session in a bad state which could cause "Invalid parameter" exceptions on subsequent requests. An InterruptedException in jcifs.netbios.NameServiceClient was being caught and ignored. It will now be re-thrown as an IOException so that all threads used with/by JCIFS can be interrupted and caused to exit. Several other similar (albeit less important) InterruptedExceptions were also adjusted. A jcifs.smb.client.dfs.disabled property has been added to disable domain based DFS so that the client does not try and fail to resolve paths as domain paths in non-domain environments (e.g. on the local machine). The getSecurity and getShareSecurity methods will now return null if no DACL is present on a file whereas previously it would retrun an empty array. This allows the caller to distinguish between an empty DACL and one that is simply empty. Wed May 28 22:46:56 EDT 2008 jcifs-1.2.21 An NPE in jcifs.Config was accidentally introduced in 1.2.20. This has been fixed. Tue May 27 16:06:13 EDT 2008 jcifs-1.2.20 The Dfs cache was not thread safe. This has been fixed. The trusted domains are now looked up with <1C> NetBIOS lookups to speed discovery. EMC could return "Access denied" for the SMB_COM_FIND_CLOSE2 on a read-only share. A try catch was added to ignore errors for that request since it otherwise has no logical importance. Examining a capture of XP with EMC reveals that no SMB_COM_FIND_CLOSE2 is sent at all. The read logic could error on the special 0x80000005 status used by named pipes to indicate more data should be read. This caused SmbFile.getShareSecurity() to fail on large ACLs. This issue has been fixed. The getShareSecurity() method would previously fail to resolve more than about 110 SIDs in one call because of a limitation in JCIFS' ability to emit multi-fragment request PDUs. The getShareSecurity() method has been modified to process SIDs in chunks of 64 to work-around this issue. Sun Apr 6 19:46:47 EDT 2008 jcifs-1.2.19 released This release adds proper support for domain based DFS roots that are not hosted on domain controllers and eliminates the now-obsolete behavior of building a merged list of shares across hosts. A new NetrDfsEnumEx RPC is used to enumerate DFS roots when listing shares. The equals methods for SmbFile and UniAddress could return true even though the files were not equal. That issue has been fixed. Some SmbComOpenAndX parameters were incorrectly swapped which would cause failure on Windows 98. Mon Feb 18 23:02:02 EST 2008 jcifs-1.2.18 released No changes to the code. Removed docs/.todo.txt.swp that got caught in the tgz by accident. Wed Feb 6 00:05:42 EST 2008 jcifs-1.2.18e released The SID.getServerSid() method could fail with NetApp servers due to a "generic" mask values. The mask ha
