Hi,

OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 x32
Heimdal: 1.5.100.930
NIM: 2.0.102.907
OpenAFS Client: 1.7.6

I'm testing the new OpenAFS Client stack on a Windows XP machine. I haven't 
actually gotten as far as installing OpenAFS yet as I've encountered a problem 
with Heimdal and possibly NIM.

What's happening is that when I install Heimdal, it seems to install fine. If I 
then run 'klist', it returns a message indicating "no credentials cache found". 
If I then run 'kinit [email protected]' and authenticate, it returns the error: 
"krb5_cc_new_unique: credentials cache file permissions incorrect". I was never 
able to get by this error and didn't find much about it on Google.

I decided to install NIM anyway and see if that had any effect on the issue. 
NIM installs but doesn't automatically show any credentials. But if I click 
"Obtain new credentials..." in NIM, it authenticates me and shows my 
credentials in its interface. It only shows the "API:" credentials I just 
obtained, not the MSLSA credentials from Windows.

(I also have one Windows 7 Pro x64 machine that is testing the same versions of 
the software (except their 64-bit counterparts). It worked fine through all of 
the installations, Heimdal, NIM and OpenAFS. However, it doesn't autorenew its 
credentials--the only way to reconnect with the servers after they expire is to 
click "Obtain new credentials..." and entering your password to authenticate. I 
thought this might be relevant since the symptoms are similar.)

Not sure if this is relevant or not, but both of these systems were upgraded 
from OpenAFS Client 1.5.x with MIT Kerberos. (By upgrade, I mean that I 
uninstalled the previous versions of all of this software, removed any 
remaining registry keys and program file directories, rebooted, and then began 
the installation of the OpenAFS Client 1.7.6 stack.) Both of these systems were 
working perfectly before performing this upgrade.

I'm not really sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated!
