Hello,

 The announcement for openafs-1.4.0rc1 contains the following statement :

     "This release allows all Kerberos 5 KDCs including Microsoft Active
      Directory to be the source of AFS client authentication."

While I have been able to get this working (without using krb524d) doing so required using two tools which are not readily provided by the openafs source distribution : aklog and asetkey. aklog is included in openafs-1.4 but is not installed even when the source distribution has been configured with the --with-krb5 (or --with-krb5-conf) option. asetkey is not included with openafs and must be installed from a separate package.

Is there another procedure for configuring krb5 authentication that does not require these tools ? If so I have found no information on the web concerning it ?

If not, would it not be advisable to distribute the required tools with openafs given that most new installations are likely to want to use krb5 authentication ?

This post refers to my experience with RC3. If these issues have been addressed in RC4, which I have not yet installed, my apologies.

Thanks,
Tim Flynn
