[Samba] Samba AD Authentication Issues After Update

[Zaheer Abbas]

Thank you.

While I'm currently in the process of migrating to AlmaLinux 8 via an
in-place upgrade, I initially wanted to update the base packages on CentOS
7 before proceeding. However, given the circumstances, it seems deploying a
separate AlmaLinux machine for testing might be the most efficient approach
to troubleshooting the issue.

If the problem persists on a fresh AlmaLinux installation, I'll reach the
community again.
