Hello all,
I am having a problem with OpenAFS windows client when Symantec i=
s
enabled. I hope to get this issue resolved because several of my custom=
ers
have the same issue.
Let me describe it:
The Environment:
Windows XP Professional, v 2002 SP 2
AFS client 1.5.5800 - though the problem is the same on other OpanAFS
client versions such as 1.5.16
Symantec v 8.7.4.97
The problem:.
I can not authenticate to the cell with Symantec Firewall enabled. I ge=
t
"AFS client unable to obtain tokens Error: 11862791 (AFS service may no=
t be
started)". However, if I turn off the Firewall, the authentication hap=
pens
without any problems. Once the authentication has succeeded AFS continu=
es
to work without issues, even after the firewall is turned back on.
The Firewall has rules for "AFS Client", and for "OpenAFS Client Servic=
e".
I also verified NETBIOS over tcpip is enabled (I read that somewhere in=
the
web).
I tend to believe it's the Firewall, - since it works with it turn off =
-
but I can not find what it is. Any help or pointers will be greatly
appreciated
