I'm testing OpenAFS 1.5.13 and KfW 3.1.0 on WinXP SP2. First, thanks to Jeffrey Altman and everyone else who has worked to make this release possible!

Next, a question about KfW (and the new NetIDMgr): How does KfW modify the token grabbing process at logon? I'm doing RUP with the profile in AFS. This seems to work fine when only OpenAFS 1.5.13 is installed, but when I install KfW 3.1.0 (properly configured, I think), RUPs break. But once the roaming fails, and I'm logged in with a temporary profile, I do have tokens and can read and write files in AFS as expected.

I read in its docs that if KfW is present, afslogon.dll will use it to get tickets then tokens, but if so, does this happen at the same time and in the same security context as a "normal" afslogon.dll? KfW says that the AfsCred plugin is present and running.

I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is a known problem, a new bug, or a config error (as of 5 minutes ago, I've read just enough of the KfW docs to be dangerous).

Summary:
existing config
 OpenAFS 1.3.73 + KfW 2.6.5             RUP in AFS works fine

testing config
 OpenAFS 1.5.13                         RUP in AFS seems to work so far
 OpenAFS 1.5.13 + KfW 3.1.0             RUP in AFS fails, but have tokens
                                        after logon.

Hopefully this is just a config problem on my part (see the previous doc disclaimer); any help is appreciated.

Cheers, Stephen
