Sebastian Nagel commented on NUTCH-2856: ---------------------------------------- NUTCH-427 was rejected because of license issue - LGPL isn't compatible with the Apache license and would put restrictions on the Nutch source code, see [1|https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html]. jcifs-codelibs and jcifs-ng are also licensed under LGPL-2.1, so we cannot include them also in binary form. This would leave SMBJ ([jar on Maven repository|https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.hierynomus/smbj]) as the only option to try to build a up-to-date protocol-smb. [~hiranchaudhuri], would you be able to work on this? > protocol-smb plugin is outdated > ------------------------------- > > Key: NUTCH-2856 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2856 > Project: Nutch > Issue Type: Bug > Components: external, plugin, protocol > Reporter: Hiran Chaudhuri > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.19 > > > The plugin protocol-smb advertized on > [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTCH/PluginCentral] actually > refers to the JCIFS library. According to this library's homepage > [https://www.jcifs.org/]: > _If you're looking for the latest and greatest open source Java SMB library, > this is not it. JCIFS has been in maintenance-mode-only for several years and > although what it does support works fine (SMB1, NTLMv2, midlc, MSRPC and > various utility classes), jCIFS does not support the newer SMB2/3 variants of > the SMB protocol which is slowly becoming required (Windows 10 requires > SMB2/3). JCIFS only supports SMB1 but Microsoft has deprecated SMB1 in their > products. *So if SMB1 is disabled on your network, JCIFS' file related > operations will NOT work.*_ > Looking at > [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block#SMB_/_CIFS_/_SMB1:|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block#SMB_/_CIFS_/_SMB1] > _Microsoft added SMB1 to the Windows Server 2012 R2 deprecation list in June > 2013. Windows Server 2016 and some versions of Windows 10 Fall Creators > Update do not have SMB1 installed by default._ > As a conclusion, the chances that SMB1 protocol is installed and/or > configured are getting vastly smaller. Therefore some migration towards > SMB2/3 is required. Luckily the JCIFS homepage lists alternatives: > * [jcifs-codelibs|https://github.com/codelibs/jcifs] > * [jcifs-ng|https://github.com/AgNO3/jcifs-ng] > * [smbj|https://github.com/hierynomus/smbj] -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
