We run recent 1.7 clients on our Windows 7 64-bit and Server 2008R2 computers along with MIT KFW 3.2.2, and we use the integrated login.

Our setup is perhaps a little different than most, but we use alternate security identities at our site. For a user "username":

    cs.wisc.edu                AFS cell name
    usern...@cs.wisc.edu    kerberos principal
    usern...@ad.cs.wisc.edu    Windows domain user

All passwords for users are in the kerberos domain, and a kerberos trust between the MIT KDC and domain controllers is in place. The Windows user has an "altSecurityIdentities" entry set pointed at "Kerberos:usern...@cs.wisc.edu".

This setup will fetch a kerberos ticket from the MIT KDC at login, and that ticket is used to get an AFS token during login with integrated login enabled. It has worked quite well for our site.

Documentation from Microsoft for how to set this up was originally written for Windows 2000 (?!), but it still seems to work fine with modern Windows. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742433.aspx Weak encryption types need to be enabled in group policy to allow DES principals to authenticate and obtain an AFS token.

Hi,

In my cell, I use Heimdal + OpenAFS fileserver on linux.

I only enabled krb5, the only keytype for my afs principal is
aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96.  Everything works great on linux clients with
the usual kinit from heimdal, they even get tokens automatically.  For
MIT clients I have to run an extra aklog, but that's OK.  MacOS works
too out of the box.

My question is about Windows: what is the currently recommeneded
practice on windows clients for this kind of KRB5 only installations?  I
managed to get it working with some combination of MIT kerberos for
windows and openafs 1.7, but it involves the user calling kinit and
aklog in the command line.  This is ugly, because the user has to know,
that the graphical password input window is useless and should be ignored.

So, what exact binaries do you guys download and use on Windows 7 to get
graphical kerberos password prompt and openafs tokens?

Thanks,
Gergely
