UPGRADING
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================
-kerberos client encryption types
---------------------------------
-Some parts of Samba (most notably winbindd) perform Kerberos client
-operations based on a Samba-generated krb5.conf file. A new
-parameter, "kerberos encryption types" allows configuring the
-encryption types set in this file, thereby allowing the user to
-enforce strong or legacy encryption in Kerberos exchanges.
-
-The default value of "all" is compatible with previous behavior, allowing
-all encryption algorithms to be negotiated. Setting the parameter to "strong"
-only allows AES-based algorithms to be negotiated. Setting the parameter to
-"legacy" allows only RC4-HMAC-MD5 - the legacy algorithm for Active Directory.
-This can solves some corner cases of mixed environments with Server 2003R2 and
-newer DCs.
