OpenAFS for Windows

SLAC requires everyone who wants to use OpenAFS for Windows to also install MIT Kerberos for Windows (KFW). This will ensure you are using Kerberos v5 instead of v4. We currently have a schedule to turn off Kerberos 4 at SLAC on April 1, 2008.

Download and Install

The newest release can be found here: http://www.openafs.org/windows.html. You want to find and download the latest version of OpenAFS for Windows software. As of early January 2008 the link was about 3/4 of the way down the page. Navigate through there until you find the correct installer file for your Windows. You can also find it on https://xweb.slac.stanford.edu.

Software Configuration

The only thing you should need to do is disable integrated login because it uses Kerberos V4. Disable it by double-clicking the OpenAFS Client found in the lower right and click the Advanced tab. Then press the Configure AFS Client button and clear the box in front of "Obtain AFS tokens when logging into Windows".

Next Step

Download and install MIT Kerberos for Windows (KFW).
