Issue/Introduction:

In KB 42625, there is the recommendation to set 'crawler.use.jcifs = false' on a Windows discover server.

If I do this, does this disable the Discover server's ability to access and scan CIFS files systems?

Resolution:

No. The setting only affects the use of the jcifs (Java CIFS) library. If the library is disabled, the native CIFS access is used.
