-Certificate Auto Enrollment allows devices to enroll for certificates from
-Active Directory Certificate Services. It is enabled by Group Policy.
-To enable Certificate Auto Enrollment, Samba's group policy will need to be
-enabled by setting the smb.conf option `apply group policies` to Yes. Samba
-Certificate Auto Enrollment depends on certmonger, the cepces certmonger

-Certificates are installed in /var/lib/samba/certs and private keys are
-installed in /var/lib/samba/private/certs.
