We're looking at moving to the AuriStor AFS client for our Windows 10 compu=
ters soon. I've run across an issue that works with our old MIT KfW/OpenAFS=
 1.3.31 configuration.

When logging in as the domain administrator, I see domain administrator Ker=
beros tickets displayed in NIM (v. 2.5.0.106). However, when I try to fetch=
 a ticket for myself user@KERB_REALM (which uses an old KDC that still reli=
es on weak encryption types), I get an error I can not obtain a ticket and =
maybe I should turn on the "allow weak encryption types" option that is alr=
eady enabled in NIM and specified in \ProgramData\Kerberos\krb5.conf

Normal users in our Windows domain are authenticated against the same KDC u=
sed for obtaining OpenAFS credentials using altIdentity definitions in Acti=
ve Directory. Group policy enables various weak encryption types until we c=
an upgrade that KDC. At login, the client computer is able to authenticate =
against the KDC and obtain a ticket/token for the user.

Any suggestions for allowing the domain administrator users, which is authe=
nticated directly against our Active Directory domain controllers, to be ab=
le to obtain a user Kerberos ticfket/AFS token? This wasn't a problem using=
 MIT KfW 3.2.2.
