Hi all,
=20
I've been doing alot of research recently...  We have an old (circa =
2003) AFS cell and are looking at replacing those aging servers.  For =
our new implementation, I hope to (read as:  "have received an edict =
that we must...") be able to use Active Directory as the authentication =
source.  Initially, I began the new server installation following the =
Quick Start guide[1], but it still uses kaserver (krb4)...so that was =
right out. =20
=20
I found a PDF from a 2006 presentation by Derrick Brashear[2], but =
without actually hearing the presentation I'm not convinced that I'll be =
able to step through the requisite steps successfully.  I also found =
some notes here[3], but lacking step-by-step documentation, I'm afraid =
that I'm mostly lost.
=20
Can anyone point me towards some detailed documentation on the subject?  =
If no documentation exists, might someone be able to help step me =
through the process?  If the latter, I would be happy to create detailed =
(step-by-step) documentation of the setup to share with the community =
(perhaps as an update to the Quick Start guide[1]).
=20
Thanks much,
=20
Josh
