 * **AD DS authentication**:  AD DS-joined Windows machines can access Azure NetApp Files shares with Active Directory credentials 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 DS, you should use AD DS for Azure NetApp Files file share authentication.
 * **Microsoft Entra Domain Services authentication**: Cloud-based, Microsoft Entra Domain Services-joined Windows VMs can access Azure NetApp Files file shares with Microsoft Entra Domain Services credentials. In this solution, Microsoft Entra Domain Services runs a traditional Windows Server AD domain on behalf of the customer.
-* **Microsoft Entra Kerberos for hybrid identities**: Using Microsoft Entra ID for authenticating [hybrid user identities](../active-directory/hybrid/whatis-hybrid-identity.md) allows Microsoft Entra users to access Azure NetApp Files file shares using Kerberos authentication. This means your end users can access Azure NetApp Files file shares without requiring a line-of-sight to domain controllers from Microsoft Entra hybrid joined and Microsoft Entra joined Windows or Linux virtual machines. *Cloud-only identities aren't currently supported.*
 * **AD Kerberos authentication for Linux clients**: Linux clients can use Kerberos authentication over SMB for Azure NetApp Files using AD DS.
