<samba:parameter name="update encrypted"
context="G"
basic="1" advanced="1" developer="1"
xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
<listitem>
<para>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 work correctly the <link linkend="ENCRYPTPASSWORDS">
<parameter moreinfo="none">encrypt passwords</parameter></link> parameter must
be set to <constant>no</constant> when this parameter is set to <constant>yes</constant>.</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.</para>
<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">update encrypted = no</command></para>
