7 <para>This parameter determines whether or not <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbclient</refentrytitle>
8 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will attempt to
9 authenticate itself to servers using the NTLMv2 encrypted password
10 response.</para>
11
12 <para>If enabled, only an NTLMv2 and LMv2 response (both much more
13 secure than earlier versions) will be sent. Many servers
14 (including NT4 &lt; SP4, Win9x and Samba 2.2) are not compatible with
15 NTLMv2. </para>
16
17 <para>Similarly, if enabled, NTLMv1, <command
18 moreinfo="none">client lanman auth</command> and <command
19 moreinfo="none">client plaintext auth</command>
20 authentication will be disabled. This also disables share-level
21 authentication. </para>
22
23 <para>If disabled, an NTLM response (and possibly a LANMAN response)
24 will be sent by the client, depending on the value of <command
25 moreinfo="none">client lanman auth</command>. </para>
26
27 <para>Note that some sites (particularly
28 those following 'best practice' security polices) only allow NTLMv2
29 responses, and not the weaker LM or NTLM.</para>
