STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED (0xc0000022): Could not connect to - Azure Netapps File Share (Network Drive) access with smbj JAVA library

Trying to read files from Azure Netapps (Network Drive). We successfully mount and read files with Window File Explorer.

With the same credentials, we are trying with JAVA smbj library.

While executing the java code in eclipse, getting following error,

com.hierynomus.mssmb2.SMBApiException: STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED (0xc0000022): Could not connect to \\AZUREANF.com\imagestorage

How to resolve this issue?

Solution

Ran into the same problem using smbj-0.11.5 with Azure NetApp Files.

There seems to be an issue related to encryption negotiation between the client and the server when 3.1.1 dialect is used (https://github.com/hierynomus/smbj/issues/747).

I suggest trying any of the following workarounds:

downgrade the SMB dialect to 3.0: SmbConfig.builder().withDialects(SMB2Dialect.SMB_3_0)
enable encryption explicitly (and still use 3.1.1 dialect): SmbConfig.builder().withEncryptData(true)

Both worked for me with smbj-0.11.5 and Azure NetApp Files.
