<description>
	<para>
	This option is deprecated and will be removed in a future release,
	as it is a security problem if not set to "yes" (which will be
	the hardcoded behavior in the future).
	</para>

	<para>This option controls whether the netlogon server (currently
	only in 'active directory domain controller' mode), will
	reject clients which does not support NETLOGON_NEG_SUPPORTS_AES.</para>

	<para>Support for NETLOGON_NEG_SUPPORTS_AES was added in Windows
	starting with Server 2008R2 and Windows 7, it's available in Samba
	starting with 4.0, however third party domain members like NetApp ONTAP
	still uses RC4 (HMAC-MD5), see
	<ulink url="https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2022-38023.html">https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2022-38023.html</ulink>
	for more details.
	</para>

	<para>The default changed from 'no' to 'yes', with the patches for
	<ulink url="https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2022-38023.html">CVE-2022-38023</ulink>
	see <ulink url="https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15240">https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15240</ulink>.
	</para>

	<para><emphasis>Avoid using this option!</emphasis> Use an explicit per machine account
	'<smbconfoption name="server reject md5 schannel:COMPUTERACCOUNT"/>' instead!
	Which is available with the patches for
	<ulink url="https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2022-38023.html">CVE-2022-38023</ulink>
	see <ulink url="https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15240">https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15240</ulink>.
	</para>

	<para>
	Samba will log an error in the log files at log level 0
	if legacy a client is rejected or allowed without an explicit,
	'<smbconfoption name="server reject md5 schannel:COMPUTERACCOUNT">no</smbconfoption>' option
	for the client. The message will indicate
	the explicit '<smbconfoption name="server reject md5 schannel:COMPUTERACCOUNT">no</smbconfoption>'
	line to be added, if the legacy client software requires it. (The log level can be adjusted with
	'<smbconfoption name="CVE_2022_38023:error_debug_level">1</smbconfoption>'
	in order to complain only at a higher log level).
	</para>

	<para>This allows admins to use "no" only for a short grace period,
	in order to collect the explicit
	'<smbconfoption name="server reject md5 schannel:COMPUTERACCOUNT">no</smbconfoption>' options.</para>

	<para>When set to 'yes' this option overrides the
	'<smbconfoption name="allow nt4 crypto:COMPUTERACCOUNT"/>' and
	'<smbconfoption name="allow nt4 crypto"/>' options and implies
	'<smbconfoption name="allow nt4 crypto:COMPUTERACCOUNT">no</smbconfoption>'.

    <para>If you still have legacy domain members or trusted domains,
	which required "reject md5 clients = no" before,
	it is possible to specify an explicit exception per computer account
	by setting 'server reject md5 schannel:COMPUTERACCOUNT = no'.
	Note that COMPUTERACCOUNT has to be the sAMAccountName value of
	the computer account (including the trailing '$' sign).
    </para>

    <para>
	Samba will log a complaint in the log files at log level 0
	about the security problem if the option is set to "no",
	but the related computer does not require it.
	(The log level can be adjusted with
	'<smbconfoption name="CVE_2022_38023:warn_about_unused_debug_level">1</smbconfoption>'
	in order to complain only at a higher log level).
    </para>

    <para>
	Samba will log a warning in the log files at log level 5
	if a setting is still needed for the specified computer account.
