[Samba] authentication protocols supported by samba
Hello all I am preparing a document for my chief, about samba and its functionnalities, in order to use it as a NT4 PDC and then, maybe, a member server in a Active Directory environnement, and then to develop security architectures based on samba He asked me which are the authentication protocols used by Samba I am new to Microsoft network technologies, so I am quite confused... He spoke me about SMB, NTLM, NTLMv2, Kerberos I know that kerberos is supported by Samba 3 What can be said about the 3 others ? What are the authentication protocols supported by samba, that can be used by the windows stations ? (so I speak about the station <---> samba server part of the communication, not about ldap for example) Very thanks Francois Beretti
