There is no Kerberos v4 support on this system.  Therefore, you cannot
use krb524 as a token format translation method.

End of life for Kerberos v4 was announced in 2003 by MIT.  Kerberos v4
was not implemented for any new platforms after that announcement.  My
guess is that you are using a 64-bit Windows operating system for which
there is no Kerberos v4 support.

If that is the case, you will have to avoid installing 64-bit versions
of Kerberos and NetIdMgr and instead exclusively use the 32-bit versions
in conjunction with the OpenAFS 32-bit tools package.  That is the only
method by which Kerberos v4 support can be obtained from existing
distributions.

Note that 3.2.2 is the last version of MIT Kerberos that will include
Kerberos v4 support at all.  The Heimdal Kerberos for Windows also will
have no Kerberos v4 support on any platform.

An alternative approach that IBM could pursue for this transition is to
implement a KAS identity provider for Network Identity Manager and use
that until such time as all of the AFS servers have been migrated from
IBM to OpenAFS.
