Solution

  • The JCIFS version 1.3.18 has a patch available to get the owner of a file.

    Link to the JCIFS java lib is : https://jcifs.samba.org/src/jcifs-1.3.18.jar

    Link to the patch file is :https://jcifs.samba.org/src/patches/GetOwnerSid.patch

    You have to get the source of the 1.3.18 version and then generate the JAR after applying the patch. Also, note that this patch does not resolve the SID of the owner. So you may want to add code to resolve the SID.
