<description>
	<para>This controls if and how strict the client will verify the peer's certificate and name.
	Possible values are (in increasing order):
	<constant>no_check</constant>,
	<constant>ca_only</constant>,
	<constant>ca_and_name_if_available</constant>,
	<constant>ca_and_name</constant>
	and
	<constant>as_strict_as_possible</constant>.</para>

	<para>When set to <constant>no_check</constant> the certificate is not verified at
	all, which allows trivial man in the middle attacks.
	</para>

	<para>When set to <constant>ca_only</constant> the certificate is verified to
	be signed from a ca specified in the <smbconfoption name="tls ca file"/> option.
	As alternative <smbconfoption name="tls ca directories"/> or
	<smbconfoption name="tls trust system cas"/> can be used.
	Providing at least one valid CA certificate is required.
	The certificate lifetime is also verified. If the <smbconfoption name="tls crl file"/>
	option is configured, the certificate is also verified against the ca crl.
	</para>

	<para>When set to <constant>ca_and_name_if_available</constant> all checks from
	<constant>ca_only</constant> are performed. In addition, the peer hostname is verified
	against the certificate's name, if it is provided by the application layer and
	not given as an ip address string.
	</para>

	<para>When set to <constant>ca_and_name</constant> all checks from
	<constant>ca_and_name_if_available</constant> are performed.
	In addition the peer hostname needs to be provided and even an ip
	address is checked against the certificate's name.
	</para>

	<para>When set to <constant>as_strict_as_possible</constant> all checks from
	<constant>ca_and_name</constant> are performed. In addition the
	<smbconfoption name="tls crl file"/> needs to be configured.
	Future versions of Samba may implement additional checks.
