[Samba] DFS on samba 4.22 vs. MacOS

[Tamas Papp]

hi All,


After upgrading a samba server with DFS feature enabled, MacOS 15 
clients are not able to connect to shares via the DFS links. Currently, 
I don't have any other MacOS version to test it.

Downgrade fixes the problem.


Details:

** Error message on MacOS: *

The operation can’t be completed because the original item for 
“LauncherConfig” can’t be found.


** samba config:*

$ testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Loaded services file OK.
Weak crypto is allowed by GnuTLS (e.g. NTLM as a compatibility fallback)

SUGGESTION: You may want to use 'sync machine password to keytab' 
parameter instead of 'kerberos method'.

Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER

Any idea, what's wrong?
