Problem description

Adding a new device in the Phoenix Management Console fails with the Credentials invalid error. However, the credentials are correct and the share is accessible from a NAS proxy with the same credentials.
The following error is observed at C:\ProgramData\Phoenix\main_service.log:

[2021-01-25 12:41:11,250] [INFO] Validating nas credentials
[2021-01-25 12:42:11,266] [ERROR] Credentials Validation failed for Device 10.1.1.19 due to error Connection timeout of 60 seconds exceeded while waiting for a message id 0 response from the server
[2021-01-25 12:42:11,266] [ERROR] Error <class 'smbprotocol.exceptions.SMBException'>:Connection timeout of 60 seconds exceeded while waiting for a message id 0 response from the server. Traceback -Traceback (most recent call last):

SMBException: Connection timeout of 60 seconds exceeded while waiting for a message id 0 response from the server

Cause

Phoenix NAS proxy queries NAS devices through SMB 2.0 or later to validate the credentials. If this protocol is disabled, the credential negotiation fails.

Resolution

Enable SMB 2.0 or later on the NAS device.
