I noticed on this page:
http://grand.central.org/twiki/bin/view/AFSLore/WindowsConfigurationReferenceGuide#Encryption_of_Network_Traffic
the statement:
Historically, AFS did not support encrypted network traffic. This
has changed in recent years. The support is off by default in order to
be compatible with old servers. You enable and disable encryption
through the value SecurityLevel (type DWORD) in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\
Parameters. Set to 1 to enable and 0 to disable.
Yet when I visit this entry in regedit, the type is 'REG_DWORD' and
the data is '0x00000001 (1)' not 0 as indicated is the default.
Have things changed since this doc was written, or is there something
during installation I might have done to change the default?
Or, will the client sense some configuration on the AFS sever and
set this accordingly?
Thanks,
