All machines require logon. Your machine may be configured to automatically logon but it does perform a logon. Automatic logon caches the password for the account and applies it at the appropriate time. From the perspective of AFS logon begins when the Network Provider function NPLogon() is called. It checks the state of the service and if it is configured for auto-start verifies that it started. If it didn't, then the service is started. It then waits for start to complete. Once that is done it checks to see if integrated logon is enabled. If so, it attempts to obtain AFS tokens for the configured cell using the username and password provided by Windows. This is the username and password that are cached for automatic use.
