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.
\\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?
Please open a command prompt an run "rxdebug -server localhost
-version -port 7001" it should return something like "OpenAFS_1.5.55".
If that doesn't work, try uninstalling an reinstalling the openafs
client. If you're not running version 1.5.56, try the latest version.
Jason
Okay, it looks like there was some kind of problem with the loopback,
but my problem still remains unsolved. I've reinstalled a good 5 times
by now, but this time I deleted the loopback from Network Connections
too and reinstalled (version 1.5.56). Now, when I try to access \\afs,
I do see my college's cell address, but I still don't see openafs.org,
nor can I access it. It gets worse though: that's only *before* I
connect to my college's network via VPN (a prerequisite to connect to my
AFS account). After I connect with VPN, I can't access \\afs at all.
On my XP box, I can see \\afs and \\afs\openafs.org before and after
VPN'ing.
Running the command you specified indicates I am indeed running
OpenAFS_1.5.56.
Sigh...
