	  <constant>RFC8429</constant> declares that
	  <constant>rc4-hmac</constant> Kerberos ciphers are weak and

	<para>
	  However for compatibility with Microsoft Windows this option
	  allows the KDC to assume that regardless of the value set in
	  a service account's
	  <constant>msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes</constant> attribute
	  that a <constant>rc4-hmac</constant> Kerberos session key (as distinct from the ticket key, as
	  found in a service keytab) can be used if the potentially
	  older client requests it.
