Hello again,

Following up myself, I started trying earlier versions to see if there is any change. Mind you, this is the 32bit version installer.

1.7.25 Same problem as the latest version

1.7.24 Same problem as the latest version

1.7.23 Works like a charm

1.7.22 BSOD right after logging in. I had the time to briefly see the padlock icon with what looked like a black dot at the lower left corner. The BSOD message was:
NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS
STOP 0x35 (0x85952130, 0, 0, 0)

1.7.21 Works like a charm

1.7.20 Works like a charm

Now I am off to the changelogs to see if I can nail something useful.

Hello,

It has been many years now since we first installed OpenAFS + KfW on our
Windows XP clients and have been using it without any trouble. Sticking
to the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" principal we sticked with some
1.3.7x version of the OpenAFS client.

Today, as part of a general update, I decided it was time to move on,
thinking the IFS redirector had more than enough time to mature. I went
on installing Heimdal 1.5.1 binaries, along with NetIDMgr 2.0 and
OpenAFS 1.7.26 (in that order) on an otherwise freshly installed WinXP
computer which basically only had SP3 and whatever dependencies the
CM2012 client brought along (Silverlight etc). Some domain-wide group
policy has also been applied, but as this machine belongs to a TEST OU
for the time being, they should be mostly harmless stuff.

I quickly found about the missing 5-to-4 .DLLs NetIDMgr would require
that was not present in Heimdal, complemented them from KfW3.2.2 and
soon I was able to get tokens for my realm and browse the AFS
filesystem....

... with an administrator account. As soon as I logged on as a simple
user, I could not get tokens anymore and the AFS padlock icon would
appear broken. While hovering over, a tooltip saying "OpenAFS service
cannot be reached" would come up.

aklog from command prompt after grabbing tickets from my KDC would say:

C:\Documents and Settings\kostas>aklog -d
Authenticating to cell physics.auth.gr.

pioctl NetbiosName = "AFS"
pioctl filename = "\\AFS\all\_._AFS_IOCTL_._"
aklog: Cache Manager is not initialized / afsd is not running while
setting token for cell physics.auth.gr

However, the afsd_service.exe process was running fine.

Without logging off, I opened a new CMD window with administrator
privileges and was able to get tokens alright and browse the filesystem
from the privileged process, so the AFS is working alright.

But at the same time, as the non-privileged user, I can't browse
\\AFS\all, nor \\AFS\physics.auth.gr which is available even to
non-logged users. When I try to do so, Windows responds with:

"\\afs\all is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact your ... "

However, I CAN browse \\afs and see the freelance generated root.cell

It fells like this is a permission thingie, but I don't really know
where to look at right now. Any insight you may have is much appreciated.

Thanks,

-Kostas
