[OpenAFS] Windows: Keep tokens in an AD environment

2023-02-23 Thread spacefrogg-openafs
Hi Christian,

If I recall correctly, the NIM would refresh the token if it also refreshed the 
ticket. I used it in a Linux-KDC environment, though. So, when Windows does 
that by itself, I wouldn't know if NIM is able to keep track of it. So, you 
could try to let NIM refresh the ticket after initial acquisition.

I would go for the cheap timed-task option. I usually update after half the 
lifetime. This is what I do on Linux hosts as well.

Kind regards,
–Michael

[OpenAFS] Windows: Keep tokens in an AD environment

2023-02-23 Thread Christian

Dear all,

we use openafs with computers joined to an AD. Upon login, users receive 
Kerberos tickets, and Network Identity Manager (NIM) will acquire tokens 
from that. Windows will make sure that the user has Kerberos tickets all 
the time, but at least in our environment, the AFS tokens expire after a 
day. Is there any way to have NIM monitor the afs tokens and get new 
tokens if the kerberos tickts have an expiry date beyond that of the AFS 
tokens? Or would one write a logon script that calls aklog every half 
hour? Thanks and best wishes,


Christian
