Summary0012180: Trusted Domain Authentication samba 4.22 Rocky 9.7
DescriptionSamba 4.22.4-12.el9_7 doesn't seem to contain the regression anymore for CVE-2025-49716 netlogon hardening fix

- **OS**: Rocky Linux 9.7 (Blue Onyx)
- **Samba Version**: samba-4.22.4-12.el9_7.x86_64
- **Configuration**: Domain member server joined to DOMAIN-A.COM with forest transitive trust to DOMAIN-B.COM
- **idmap backend**: ad (for DOMAIN-B), sss (for DOMAIN-A)

After upgrading from Rocky Linux 9.6 (samba-4.21.3-14.el9_6) to Rocky Linux 9.7 (samba-4.22.4-12.el9_7), NTLM challenge/response authentication fails for users from the trusted domain DOMAIN-B.COM with `NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD`. Plaintext authentication works correctly.

[log.wb-DOMAIN-B] cm_connect_netlogon_transport: get_secure_channel_type gave SEC_CHAN_NULL for DOMAIN-B
[log.wb-DOMAIN-B] cli_rpc_pipe_open_noauth: opened pipe netlogon to machine DC01.domain-b.com and bound anonymously
[log.winbindd] lm_resp: DATA_BLOB length=0
[log.winbindd] nt_resp: DATA_BLOB length=0
[log.winbindd] result: NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD

No `netr_LogonSamLogon` calls found in logs - winbind not attempting netlogon authentication for trusted domain challenge/response.
Steps To Reproduce1. Join Rocky Linux 9.7 server to Active Directory domain (e.g., DOMAIN-A.COM)
2. Configure idmap_ad backend for trusted domain (e.g., DOMAIN-B.COM)
3. Ensure Microsoft July 2025 security updates (CVE-2025-49716) are applied to domain controllers
4. Test authentication: `echo 'password' | wbinfo -a DOMAIN-B\\testuser`
5. Observe: plaintext succeeds, challenge/response fails

Rolling back just to samba 4.21-3.14 from 9.6 vault, fixes the issue.
