authentication and related encryption types. These enhancements are introduced in the HP CIFS
Server version A.02.01, which was officially released on December 15
th
, 2004.
The implementation details of Kerberos and Samba must be clearly identified so that users and
support personnel can accurately design, implement, and support enterprise installations of HP CIFS
Server that utilize the protocol.
Please use this paper as a reference tool when designing, implementing, and supporting HP CIFS
Server with Kerberos authentication. Below is an outline of topics that will help streamline lookups of
