## 6. Configuration

### 6.1 Configuration Properties
```java
// In PropertyConfiguration.java
public static final String USE_WITNESS = "jcifs.smb.client.useWitness";
public static final String WITNESS_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT = "jcifs.smb.client.witnessHeartbeatTimeout";
public static final String WITNESS_REGISTRATION_TIMEOUT = "jcifs.smb.client.witnessRegistrationTimeout";

jcifs.smb.client.useDirectoryLeasing=true
jcifs.smb.client.dirCacheTimeout=60000

# RDMA
jcifs.smb.client.useRDMA=auto
jcifs.smb.client.rdmaProvider=disni

# Witness
jcifs.smb.client.useWitness=true
jcifs.smb.client.witnessNotificationTimeout=5000
```

## Risk Assessment

### Technical Risks
1. **RDMA Complexity**: Limited Java RDMA support may require JNI
