John:

If you want to preserve a little bit more of the metadata in the kaserver database when converting to Kerberos 5, take a look at:

        
http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~wingc/openafs/dist/1.3.86/SOURCES/afs-krb5-2.0-betterka2dump.patch


this is a patch against 'afs2k5db' which does the following:

        - preserves the semantics of the 'NOTGS' flag in ka entries

        - preserves the 'password last changed' timestamp

        - uses the correct value for password expiration time (0 means
                never, not 2145830400)




You can also use the following script on top of that:

        
http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~wingc/openafs/dist/1.3.86/SOURCES/kas-kdb-merge.pl



which will merge back in the information about which user last modified a given ka database entry. Otherwise this information will be lost when you convert to krb5.

The script would be used as follows:


        kas list -long >/tmp/kas_output.txt

        afs2k5db /usr/afs/db/kasrver.0 >/tmp/krb5-dumpfile

        ./kas-kdb-merge.pl /tmp/krb5-dumpfile /tmp/kas-output.txt YOUR.REALM.NAME 
>/tmp/final-krb5-database





This is only important if you care about preserving as much information as possible from the original kaserver database; you can use the unpatched afs2k5db as-is without any problems.

I finally have a few days to migrate our cell from AFS-KRB to Kerb5.
We have a few hundred users and I'd like to migrate the cell without
too much disruption.  Looking at the AFS wiki, I find
  - dead links to Ken Hornstein's AFS-KRB 5 migration kit
   (the FTP server doesn't exist any more?)
  - dead links to Schulz at Karlsruhe's info on migration
  - a live AFS file (date 2001) on using KTH Heimdal's Krb5
Has the train left the station long ago?
