9
specific UAMs. As they provide only weak password encryption, the use of
10
the "Randnum exchange" and "2-Way Randnum exchange" UAMs is deprecated
11
unless one has to support very old AFP clients, that can not deal with
12
the more secure "DHCAST128" UAM instead. Please compare with the <a href="configuration.html#authentication" title="Authentication">Authentication chapter</a> inside Netatalk's
