#### AD Kerberos authentication for Linux clients (SMB)
19+
20+
Azure Files customers can now use identity-based Kerberos authentication for Linux clients over SMB using either on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) or Azure Active Directory Domain Services (Azure AD DS). For more information, see [Enable Active Directory authentication over SMB for Linux clients accessing Azure Files](storage-files-identity-auth-linux-kerberos-enable.md).

#### Nconnect for NFS Azure file shares
1924

2025
Nconnect is a client-side Linux mount option that increases performance at scale by allowing you to use more TCP connections between the Linux client and the Azure Premium Files service for NFSv4.1. With nconnect, you can increase performance at scale using fewer client machines to reduce total cost of ownership. For more information, see [Improve NFS Azure file share performance with nconnect](nfs-nconnect-performance.md).

- **On-premises AD DS authentication:** On-premises AD DS-joined or Azure AD DS-joined Windows machines can access Azure file shares with on-premises Active Directory credentials that are synched to Azure AD over SMB. Your client must have line of sight to your AD DS. If you already have AD DS set up on-premises or on a VM in Azure where your devices are domain-joined to your AD, you should use AD DS for Azure file shares authentication.
6060
- **Azure AD DS authentication:** Cloud-based, Azure AD DS-joined Windows VMs can access Azure file shares with Azure AD credentials. In this solution, Azure AD runs a traditional Windows Server AD domain on behalf of the customer, which is a child of the customer’s Azure AD tenant.
6161
- **Azure AD Kerberos for hybrid identities:** Using Azure AD for authenticating [hybrid user identities](../../active-directory/hybrid/whatis-hybrid-identity.md) allows Azure AD users to access Azure file shares using Kerberos authentication. This means your end users can access Azure file shares over the internet without requiring a line-of-sight to domain controllers from hybrid Azure AD-joined and Azure AD-joined VMs. Cloud-only identities aren't currently supported.

- **AD Kerberos authentication for Linux clients:** Linux clients can use Kerberos authentication over SMB for Azure Files using on-premises AD DS or Azure AD DS.
