<para>When set to <constant>legacy</constant>, only RC4-HMAC-MD5
- is allowed. Avoiding AES this way has one a very specific use.
- Normally, the encryption type is negotiated between the peers.
- However, there is one scenario in which a Windows read-only domain
- controller (RODC) advertises AES encryption, but then proxies the
- request to a writeable DC which may not support AES encryption,
- leading to failure of the handshake. Setting this parameter to
- <constant>legacy</constant> would cause samba not to negotiate AES
- encryption. It is assumed of course that the weaker legacy
- encryption types are acceptable for the setup.
