what domain name to pass in windows environment to get smb connection in smbj-rpc library

I am using https://github.com/rapid7/smbj-rpc library to get shared smb directories for all computers in a local network. For now, I need to handle the network where each computer has local user accounts (there is no active directory). But, in future, I will also need to make it general:-



a) to identify whether given ip address is in workgroup or domain and
b) get the correct value of domain value to be used for authentication.



So, I am looking for above info and how to get it using Java. Sample snippet below:



 final SMBClient smbClient = new SMBClient();
Session session = null;
RPCTransport transport;

try (final Connection smbConnection = smbClient.connect(ip)) {
final AuthenticationContext smbAuthenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(user,
password.toCharArray(), "what_domain_to_pass\?");
session = smbConnection.authenticate(smbAuthenticationContext);


I have tried standard Java api:



InetAddress inetAddress = InetAddress.getByName(ip);
String hostName = inetAddress.getHostName();


but I am not sure if it is the right way.

  • Have you tried just passing null for the domain? For local user accounts you don't need it.
