Kerberos authentication for CIFS

With Kerberos authentication, upon connection to your storage system, the client negotiates the highest possible security level. However, if the client cannot use Kerberos authentication, Microsoft NTLM or NTLM V2 is used to authenticate with the storage system.

Note: Extended security features are only available to clients that are members of a Windows Active Directory domain.
