Connecting to SMB share with JCIFS takes too long

English:Fess

Hello,

First of all, apologies for using the Fess forum to ask a JCIFS related question but your repository does not have issues enabled.

Regarding the issue, I am establishing a connection to a SMB share that is located in the same machine and I have noticed that it takes about 7 seconds for the connection to be established. Do you have any suggestion as to what may be causing this problem? Here is a snippet of how I am creating the connection:

    Properties props = new Properties();
    CIFSContext clientContext =  new BaseContext(newPropertyConfiguration(props)).withCredentials(credentials); //ntlm password authenticator

    SmbFile share = new SmbFile("smb://" + hostname + "/" + shareName + "/", clientContext);

    try {
        share.connect();
    } catch(SmbException e) { }

I have taken measurements and it is the connect call that is causing the issue. I have tried using a different machine, testing with a share located in another machine instead of local, using a SingletonContext, but the results remained the same.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Tiago

It is better to check a debug-level log message.
