6. In the Domain area, type the NetBIOS name, not the fully qualified domain name, of a domain or computer where
shared files are located, and click Add . The domain appears in the SMB signing Credentials section below. If necessary,
add any other domains as well.
7. In the Credentials area, type the Username and Password to use when generating the signing key.
IMPORTANT
The account used for signing the key must be able to authenticate against the specified server, but should be a
highly restricted account that does not have permissions to access the files being requested by the client
computers, or administrator access to the domain.
8. Select whether the authentication credentials are enabled or disabled.
NOTE
The Exinda Appliance will use the recorded credentials for the requested domain. If the appliance is unable to
connect to that domain because the server is unavailable or because of incorrect credentials, the status of the signed
connection is reported as
Bypassed
or
Unhandled
.
If the request is for a domain that is not registered on the Exinda Appliance, the credentials for the
(default)
domain are used. If the credentials are incorrect for the requested domain, the status of the signed connection is
reported as
Bypassed
or
Unhandled
.
9. In the Compatibility Options area, if on your network there are Exinda appliances that are running a firmware version
prior to v6.3, select
Support versions (pre v6.3.0) Enabled
.

How SMB/CIFS (File Transfer) Acceleration Works
SMB1 and SMB2 are remote file access protocols that form the basis for Windows file sharing. Each time you browse or
access files on a Windows server using Windows Explorer, Windows uses the SMB protocols to transport information (files
or directory information) back and forth between your computer and the server.
In addition to file sharing, SMB is also used as a transport protocol for various higher level Microsoft communications
protocols, as well as for network printing, resource location services, remote management/administration, network
authentication (secure establishment services), and RPC (Remote Procedure Calls). SMB operates very poorly over a high
latency WAN link because by design SMB sends a large number of back and forth transactions to complete a request.
The primary goal of Exinda SMB acceleration is to reduce the overall accumulated latency introduced by the "chattiness"
of the SMB protocols. Each Exinda appliance can act on behalf of an SMB client and server to make the interaction
