I don't have an easy solution for you. But when I ran into a similar
problem with AFS (not Apple's AFP, but the only formerly called "Andrew File
System"), I wound up having to write a AuthPlugin that I put after the user had
done most of the authentication that waited for the AFS system to be ready to
serve up content. It might work to do that for you. You are going to have to do
some work on it if you go this route, since this is older code, but I did
open-source it at:
