|
This boolean parameter allows a user logging on with a plaintext password to have their encrypted (hashed)
|
|
password in the smbpasswd file to be updated automatically as they log on. This option allows a site to
|
|
migrate from plaintext password authentication (users authenticate with plaintext password over the
|
|
wire, and are checked against a UNIX account database) to encrypted password authentication (the SMB
|
|
challenge/response authentication mechanism) without forcing all users to re-enter their passwords via
|
|
smbpasswd at the time the change is made. This is a convenience option to allow the change over to encrypted
|
|
passwords to be made over a longer period. Once all users have encrypted representations of their passwords
|
|
in the smbpasswd file this parameter should be set to <constant>no</constant>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In order for this parameter to be operative the <smbconfoption name="encrypt passwords"/> parameter must
|
|
be set to <constant>no</constant>. The default value of <smbconfoption name="encrypt
|
|
passwords">Yes</smbconfoption>. Note: This must be set to <constant>no</constant> for this <smbconfoption
|
|
name="update encrypted"/> to work.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note that even when this parameter is set, a user authenticating to <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command>
|
|
must still enter a valid password in order to connect correctly, and to update their hashed (smbpasswd)
|
|
passwords.
