**default_tgs_enctypes**
Identifies the supported list of session key encryption types that
should be returned by the KDC, in order of preference from
highest to lowest. The list may be delimited with commas or
whitespace. See :ref:`Encryption_and_salt_types` in

The default value is |defetypes|, but single-DES encryption types
will be implicitly removed from this list if the value of
**allow_weak_crypto** is false.

Do not set this unless required for specific backward
compatibility purposes; stale values of this setting can prevent
clients from taking advantage of new stronger enctypes when the
libraries are upgraded.
