Hi,
I'm looking at disabling crypt on all of my Windows clients and noticed =
that there's an extra option for them, versus *nix clients--auth.
With auth enabled, 'fs getcrypt' indicates that the security level is =
"data integrity". I wasn't able to find any information about what this =
means in the docs at the website nor in the release notes of the client =
(1.7.8).
Can someone explain what this setting does please? Just wondering if =
it's encrypting communications while acquiring tokens ('auth') or =
providing some kind of integrity checks to help avoid or catch data =
corruption ('data integrity') or something else entirely.
Thank you,
