Problem

If a SoftNAS administrator sets SMB encryption to required OR desired, they will have to create Samba User Accounts in order to access their CIFS shares.

Solution

The signing & encryption key is unique for a user and is generated when the user authenticates itself for each connection. If an administrator wishes to use guest accounts, SMB encryption will need to be set to Off.
