[jcifs] jcifs.smb.SmbException: The parameter is incorrect.

[Michael B Allen]

HI Carl,

An "Invalid parameter" error is very generic and could be caused by a
number of things including but not limited to incorrect configuration
or a bug in JCIFS. You would have to post a stack trace and code
fragment (or identify which example program you're trying) for a
further diagnosis. Your previous CreateFile example looks valid
(although you duplicate some properties and the
jcifs.smb.client.domainController property is not applicable in this
case). A wild guess at this point is that it could be due directly or
indirectly to disabling NTLMv2 using the jcifs.smb.lmCompatibility=0
and jcifs.smb.client.useExtendedSecurity=false properties. Most
servers do not do NTLMv1 anymore. If you remove those properties does
the CreateFile example then work?

If you have questions about Jespa, please direct those to IOPLEX
support. Jespa questions will not be answered here (nor will any
questions about HTTP authentication).

Mike
