- **Authentication methods**: Which SMB authentication methods are allowed. Supported authentication methods are NTLMv2 and Kerberos. By default, all authentication methods are allowed. Removing NTLMv2 disallows using the storage account key to mount the Azure file share.

- **SMB channel encryption**: Which SMB channel encryption algorithms are allowed. Supported encryption algorithms are AES-256-GCM, AES-128-GCM, and AES-128-CCM.
