Description Arvid Requate

2016-04-12 11:12:01 CEST

Without 'ntlm auth = no', there may still be clients not using NTLMv2. The elder original protocol version sends the password hashes across the wire, which may be observed and brute-forced easily. As far as I currently know Samba/AD DCs running 4.3.7 will default to this setting, but for member/file-servers it would be good to adjust the default too.

We should also consider setting "smb signing = required", which also appears to be default for Samba 4.3.7 AD DCs.

It's "server signing = mandatory" instead of "smb signing = required".

I'm not sure about setting "server signing" explicitly to "mandatory" by default for memberservers. I think we should default to the Samba behavior.
