Samba 4.20.3 Available for Download
This is the latest stable release of the Samba 4.20 release series.
LDAP TLS/SASL channel binding support
-------------------------------------
The ldap server supports SASL binds with
kerberos or NTLMSSP over TLS connections
now (either ldaps or starttls).
Setups where 'ldap server require strong auth = allow_sasl_over_tls'
was required before, can now most likely move to the
default of 'ldap server require strong auth = yes'.
If SASL binds without correct tls channel bindings are required
'ldap server require strong auth = allow_sasl_without_tls_channel_bindings'
should be used now, as 'allow_sasl_over_tls' will generate a
warning in every start of 'samba', as well as '[samba-tool ]testparm'.
This is similar to LdapEnforceChannelBinding under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters
on Windows.
All client tools using ldaps also include the correct
channel bindings now.
