<description>
<para>This option allows the administrator to chose what
authentication methods <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will use when authenticating
a user. This option defaults to sensible values based on <link linkend="SECURITY">
<parameter moreinfo="none">security</parameter></link>. This should be considered
a developer option and used only in rare circumstances. In the majority (if not all)
of production servers, the default setting should be adequate.</para>
<para>Each entry in the list attempts to authenticate the user in turn, until
the user authenticates. In practice only one method will ever actually
be able to complete the authentication.
</para>
<para>Possible options include <constant>guest</constant> (anonymous access),
<constant>sam</constant> (lookups in local list of accounts based on netbios
name or domain name), <constant>winbind</constant> (relay authentication requests
for remote users through winbindd), <constant>ntdomain</constant> (pre-winbindd
method of authentication for remote domain users; deprecated in favour of winbind method),
<constant>trustdomain</constant> (authenticate trusted users by contacting the
remote DC directly from smbd; deprecated in favour of winbind method).</para>
