Generelle Installationsanweisungen und Anmerkungen:

Upgrade auf Version 1.7.XX:

Ab Version 1.7.X arbeitet der AFS Client für Windows mit einem nativen Filesystem Treiber und nicht mehr wie bisher über die Funktion SMB/Loopbackadapter. Deshalb ist es notwendig bei einem Upgrade des Clients auf Version 1.7.XX und zwar nach der Deinstallation des Clients, den Loopbackadapter zu entfernen. Dies funktioniert am Besten über Eigenschaften des Loopbackadapters->Karteikarte Treiber->Deinstallieren/Entfernen. Dieses Fenster findet man entweder im Gerätemanager oder unter Eigenschaften von Netzwerk.

Installation ohne Kerberos/Heimdal:

Damit man auch ohne Kerberos oder Heimdal einen Token erzeugen kann, gibt es immer noch die Möglichkeit das AFS Authentication Tool zu installieren. Hierfür ist es notwendig die Installation manuell durchzuführen und die Auswahl der einzelnen Programmteile wie folgt zu treffen:

AFS Options

Client-Software

OpenAFS for Windows depends on a third party Kerberos 5 implementation for network authentication.

There are two supported options: MIT Kerberos for Windows and Heimdal Kerberos. For Windows7 64 Bit use Heimdal Kerberos on all other Systems the MIT Kerberos works well.

To access the AFS-Server you need to download and install the appropriate OpenAFS and Kerberos Software (sometimes tricky),

or use this KIP-AFS_Windows Installation Script, which automatically download, install and configure all needed software for you (recommended).

On Windows7 you have to run this script with Administrator privileges: right click on the file and select "Run as administrator"

After installing the AFS-Software you need to:

If the authentication was successful, you are able to access your data by

mapping a network drive:

  • Click: Start > Computer > Map network drive (in the tool-bar)
  • In the "Map Network Drive window" choose an available drive letter from the drop-down list and type the name of the folder to map.

The folder can be any (accessible) path starting with \\afs

Examles (the shortcut \\afs\kip is also possible):

  • for the top level view: \\afs\kip.uni-heidelberg.de
  • for your Home directory: \\afs\kip.uni-heidelberg.de\user\<USERNAME>

Click the "Reconnect at logon" checkbox if this network drive should be mapped permanently.

You can map multiple folders to different drive letters, in order to organize a quick and convenient file access.

It is also possible to access the data temporary (on the fly) without dedicated drive-mapping,

by typing \\afs\kip\.... location in the explorer address bar.
