\layout Abstract

- bystanders and developers on the Samba4 project.
+This paper attempts to introduce the GENSEC security subsystem and client
+ credentials interfaces to interested bystanders and developers on the Samba4
+ project.
GENSEC attempts to abstract details about user authentication into a single
place, providing a simple API to the rest of Samba, while remaining compatible
with Microsoft's implementations of the same security protocols.
+ Likewise the client credentials API provides Samba's client components
+ with a single, simple way to handle usernames and passwords.
