Contact RackTop Support Access Online Resources 23.8.0 TBD Breaking Changes Minimum SMB protocol version Support for SMB versions older than 2.1 was disabled by default in BrickStor SP release 23.7. The older versions of the SMB protocol are designs that predate modern security and authentication mechanisms. They also lack many performance-oriented features that later SMB versions have. If support for the older protocol versions is still required for devices in the organization, they may be enabled via the BrickStor SP CLI: Enabling SMB 1.0 SMB 1.0 is also referred to as Common Internet File System (CIFS). $ sudo sharectl set -p min_protocol=1 smb Enabling SMB 2.002 SMB 2.002 was the first public release of "SMB 2.0" by Microsoft and had a short life before being superseded by SMB 2.1. Despite that, some devices may be limited to using this version. $ sudo sharectl set -p min_protocol=2.002 smb In order to maintain a positive security posture, RackTop recommends that customers identify systems that require SMB versions older than SMB 2.1 and upgrade them, as newer firmware for printers and similar devices might give them the ability to access shares via SMB 2.1 or newer. That would eliminate the need to reactivate support for the deprecated SMB versions in BrickStor SP.
