	<para>
	Controls how kerberos tickets are verified.
	</para>

	<para>Valid options are:</para>
	<itemizedlist>
	  <listitem><para>secrets only - use only the secrets.tdb for
	  ticket verification (default)</para></listitem>

	  <listitem><para>system keytab - use only the system keytab
	  for ticket verification</para></listitem>

	  <listitem><para>dedicated keytab - use a dedicated keytab
	  for ticket verification</para></listitem>

	  <listitem><para>secrets and keytab - use the secrets.tdb
	  first, then the system keytab</para></listitem>
	</itemizedlist>

	<para>
	  The major difference between "system keytab" and "dedicated
	  keytab" is that the latter method relies on kerberos to find the
	  correct keytab entry instead of filtering based on expected
	  principals.
	</para>

	<para>
	  When the kerberos method is in "dedicated keytab" mode,
	  <smbconfoption name="dedicated keytab file"/> must be set to
	  specify the location of the keytab file.
	</para>
