Figure 7-3 SMB NegProt Connection

Once a protocol has been established, the client can proceed to logon to

the server. Client now sends a SMB Session Setup command

(SesssetupX), see Figure 7-4. The response indicates whether the

username password pair is valid, and if so, can provide additional

information. One of the very important aspects of the response is a User

ID value that must be submitted with all the subsequent SMBs sent to

the server. This is used for user authentication.

Figure 7-4 SMB Sesssetup Connection

After the client has logged in, then proceeds to connect to the ﬁle tree by

sending a SMB Tree Connect command (TconX) to the server, see

Figure 7-5. Here TconX stands for tree connect. The client sends a Tcon

or SMB TconX specifying the network name of the share that they wish

to connect to, and if all is well, the server responds with a TID that the

client will use in all future SMBs relating to that share.
