Greetings all,
I'm trying to get OpenAFS working on my Vista laptop, and it's
giving me a serious headache. The installation went okay, but
when I try to get tokens, I get the following error message:
-- The AFS Client was unable to obtain tokens as [username] in
cell [cell address].
-- Error 11862791 (AFS service may not have started)
The service is definitely running, according to the client
window. If enter the wrong password, I get a "password
incorrect" error, so it's at least recognizing my account. One
thing I think may be related to the problem: at the top of the
client window, it says
-- Currently logged on to Windows Networking as ""
In an older version, (which I tried installing for the hell of
it), it says
-- Currently logged on to Windows Networking as "(unknown)"
where as on my XP box, it correctly lists my username. I hope
this helps. This is really driving my nuts; I've googled and
googled but I can't find a solution... Can anyone give me some
advice?
Hi Paul,
What program are you using to authenticate? Are you authenticating
at the windows logon screen, using afscreds (the program with the
yellow lock icon), or Kerberos Network Identity manager ( the
program with the cube icon)?
If you aren't using the Kerberos Network Identity Manager, please
try to login using Network Identity Manager to see if the outcome
changes.
Sincerely,
Jason
Hi Jason,
I'm using the AFSCreds. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll be able
to use the Kerberos Network Identity Manager. The AFS cell I'm
trying to connect to is that of my college, and I'm not sure they
support Kerberos (if there's a difference; I'm a bit new to this).
I tried installing it, but it asks me for a username and "realm",
the latter of which I don't know. I tried entering the same
address as the AFS cell, but it didn't seem to like that...
Hi Paul,
In the future, please CC to the list.
FYI, the realm name is usually the same as the cell name. Have you
edited the krb5.ini file at all?
can you open a windows explorer window and access
\\afs\yourcollegecell.edu ?
Jason
Sorry about that, I realized I forgot to CC the list right after I
hit send...
When I install Kerberos, it asks me for a configuration file. I
don't have one, so I select "User packaged confirmations files for
the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm". That can't be good... After it installs,
I hit "obtain new credentials" where it asks for a username and
realm. After I enter my username and the cell address, it shows
"Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm." and "OK"
is grayed.
Trying to access the address via explorer yields the familiar
"Windows cannot access \\afs\..." dialog.
hmmm,
Can you access \\afs\openafs.org in windows explorer? If not, then the
client isn't working properly. unauthenticated AFS access should just
work. After that's working, then focus on authentication.
Jason
\\afs\openafs.org doesn't work either, which means something's
definitely amiss I guess. Strangely, I can access \\afs, but when I do
so, I see all my shared folders, the same as if I were accessing
\\mahoka (the computer name). On my XP box, I do see openafs.org as
well as my college's afs cell address when I access \\afs. Any idea as
to what the hell is going on?
