Samba end-to-end encryption

openmediavault Release: 6.9.2-1

I just noticed today that enabling "Transport encryption" per share wasn't working, and after some digging I concluded that the syntax for this option on this build of OMV is incorrect:

server smb encrypt = required

That syntax is for Samba v4.14.xx and above. The correct syntax for the version in OMV6 (v4.13.xx) is:

smb encrypt = required

I was able to get my shares encrypted properly once I added "smb encrypt = required" to my "Private Share":

I raised issue 1605 on GitHub:

SMB Encryption/ Transport encryption option has the wrong syntax · Issue #1605 · openmediavault/openmediavault (github.com)

Once OpenMediaVault starts using Samba v4.14 and above, this would need to be revisited.

Yep, is a pretty straightfoward thing.

I read your comments on GitHub so I deleted and re-created the share with transport encryption, and now it works as you described.

I am thinking is leftover from a long time ago, this box was originally running on OMV 3.xx and I've always upgraded to the next major release. I am not too surprised.

Thanks for looking into it!
