    Introduction

    -

    Overview

    -

    AFS(R) is a distributed file system that provides -secure, reliable access to information across an enterprise. By -seamlessly uniting the directories and files on individual file server -machines into one file system accessible from any desktop, AFS presents users -with a single filespace independent of machine boundaries. -

    AFS offers several advantages. It improves the availability of files -by employing client-side caching and replication of frequently accessed data -across multiple file servers. AFS provides powerful security to protect -the information stored in the filespace. In addition, AFS is highly -scalable. Virtually unlimited additional server and client machines can -be added as needed to an AFS configuration with little impact on existing -server and client machines. This enables the file system to grow with -the enterprise. -

    AFS for Windows includes the following products: -

    AFS Client Release Notes

    -

    Introduction

    -

    This section contains important information about the AFS Client -component of AFS for Windows, version 3.6. The AFS Client -provides direct access to the AFS filespace from a PC running Windows NT, -enabling users to manage files and directories in AFS. The AFS Client -includes the AFS Light Gateway, which enables AFS Light users to access the -AFS filespace. -


    AFS Client Installation Requirements

    -

    Your system must meet the following hardware, software, and -administrative privilege requirements to install the AFS Client. -

    Hardware

    -

    The hardware requirements for installing the AFS Client are: -

    -

    Software

    -

    The software requirements for installing the AFS Client are: -

    -

    Administrative Privilege Requirement

    -

    You must be a member of the local Administrators group on -your Windows system in order to install, configure, and start the AFS -Client. -


    Product Notes

    -

    This section highlights important general information about the AFS -Client component of AFS for Windows, version 3.6. It includes -descriptions of new features and enhancements made available in this release -of the AFS Client. -

    Additional Configuration Options Available Via the Client Interface

    -

    The AFS Client Configuration utility's Advanced tab now -includes options for configuring logon parameters, diagnostic parameters, and -other miscellaneous configuration parameters. From the -Advanced tab, you can also configure global drive mappings. -Many of these configuration options were formerly available to AFS Client -users as registry settings. -

    The Advanced tab is accessed from the Windows Control -Panel. To display the Advanced tab: -

      -

    1. From the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose -Control Panel. -

    2. Double-click the AFS Client Configuration icon to display the -AFS Client Configuration utility. -

    3. Choose the Advanced tab. -
    -

    AFS Client Cache Location Is Now Configurable

    -

    The AFS Client Cache is stored in a file named AFSCache, -rather than in the system paging file. By default, the cache is stored -on the drive where Windows is installed. The size of the AFS Client -Cache is limited by available free disk space. The cache size must be -at least 1 MB. The default cache size is 20480 KB (20MB). -

    The location of the AFS Client Cache can now be changed. Changing -the cache location is useful when there is not sufficient available free disk -space on the drive where Windows is installed. To change the cache -location, enter a valid, fully qualified filename in the Cache Path -field on the AFS Client Configuration's Advanced tab. -

    Mapping Global Drives to the AFS Filespace

    -

    The AFS Client's graphical user interface can now be used to map -global drives to places in the AFS filespace. Global drives are mapped -to the AFS filespace when the IBM AFS Client service starts; users are -not required to be logged on. To map global drives to AFS: -

      -

    1. From the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose -Control Panel. -

    2. Double-click the AFS Client Configuration icon to display the -AFS Client Configuration utility. Select the Advanced -tab. -

    3. Click Add. The Map Global Drive dialog box -appears. In the Drive Letter box, choose a network drive or -accept the default. In the AFS Path box, type a path to the -AFS filespace. If desired, enter a short name to be associated with the -specified drive letter and AFS path in the Description box. -Note that a drive letter description can have no more than 12 characters and -cannot contain spaces or tabs. -

    4. Click OK to establish the connection. The drive letter -and AFS path appear on the Global Drives dialog box. The drive letter -now appears in your Windows NT Explorer. -
    -

    AFS Client Computer Name Must Correspond to the Name Service Host Name

    -

    The computer name of an AFS Client machine (as displayed in the -Computer Name field on the Identification tab of the -Network dialog box) must correspond to the host name assigned to the computer -by the name service (normally the Domain Name Service, or DNS) used to map -names to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. For example, if the machine -on which the AFS Client is installed has the computer name -afsclient1 and is in the yourcompany.com domain, -the corresponding DNS entry for the machine must be -afsclient1.yourcompany.com. -

    AFS Command-Line Binaries

    -

    The AFS Client includes administration-oriented command suites such as -bos, kas, vos, and pts. -Execute the commands within these suites from the Windows Command -Prompt. -

    The AFS Client Must Be Installed in a Directory Whose Path Contains Only ANSI Characters

    -

    The AFS for Windows software must be installed in a directory whose -path contains only ANSI characters, for example the default directory -C:\Program Files. -

    Disabling All but the Client Component of the AFS for Windows Setup Program

    -

    You have the option of altering the AFS for Windows setup program to -disable all but the client component. Such a client-only setup program -renders users unable to install any components other than the AFS -Client. To perform a client-only installation, create the file -setup.co in the same directory as the other installation -files; the setup program then allows only the AFS Client to be -installed. Note that the contents of the setup.co -file are irrelevant. Follow the installation procedure described in -IBM AFS for Windows Quick Beginnings regardless of the type of -installation you are performing. -

    Temporary Files

    -

    The AFS Client for Windows occasionally creates temporary files. -To control where such files are created, set your environment variable (TMP or -TEMP) to the fully qualified path of the preferred temporary directory. -If you do not specify a temporary directory, then any temporary files are -created in the current working directory of the process that creates the -files. -

    National Language Support for the AFS Client

    -

    AFS provides national language support for the AFS Client graphical -user interface (GUI) tools and documentation, including support for -bidirectional scripts (Hebrew, Arabic, etc.). The language -strings installed are determined by your machine's system default locale, -as specified in the Control Panel's Regional Settings Properties dialog -box. If no language strings exist for the current locale, then English -language strings are installed by default. -
    Note:The system default locale for a machine can be different than the -user locale (specified by a user) on the machine. However, -the language strings installed with AFS for Windows are always determined by -the system default locale. -
    -

    The kpwvalid Password Strength Checker Is Not Used on Windows Systems

    -

    When an AFS user password is changed from a Windows system, the -kpwvalid program is not used to check the quality of the -new password. (On UNIX systems, if a kpwvalid program exists -in the same directory as the kpasswd program, the -kpwvalid program checks the quality of every new user -password.) -

    Configurable LAN Adapter Number

    -

    The LAN Adapter (LANA) number used by the AFS Client service must match -the LANA number setting on your Windows system. By default, the AFS -Client service is configured to use LANA number 0 (zero). -

    You can now use the AFS Client's graphical user interface tools to -modify the value of the LANA number used by the AFS Client service. To -change the LANA number, enter a new value in the Lan Adapter Number -field on the AFS Client Configuration's Advanced tab. -You must restart the AFS Client service after modifying this parameter. -

    Alternatively, if you do not want to change the default LANA number used by -the AFS Client service to match the NetBIOS Configuration of your Windows NT -machine, you can instead modify your system's LANA number setting to -match the AFS default setting (0). Access the -Services tab on the Control Panel's Network -application. Choose NetBIOS Interface, and select the -Properties button. Enter 0 (zero) in the -Lana Number field. You must restart your machine after -making changes to this Windows setting. -

    WinLogon Graphical Identification and Authentication (GINA) Modules and AFS Authentication

    -

    The AFS Client includes the header files and libraries required to -build a WinLogon Graphical Identification and Authentication (GINA) module -that obtains AFS tokens. These header files and libraries are installed -in the <AFS for Windows Installation -Directory>\afs\client\program directory. In addition, -a sample program with compiling and linking instructions is provided in -<AFS for Windows Installation -Directory>\afs\client\program\sample\token.c. -

    Cell Database Is Maintained During Upgrade

    -

    When the AFS Client software is upgraded, the AFS Client cell database -file (afsdcell.ini) located in the Windows -directory is not replaced, in order to preserve local cell configuration -information. However, a copy of the cell database as distributed by the -vendor is installed in the AFS Client program directory. -

    -


    Limitations and Restrictions

    -

    This section briefly describes the known limitations and restrictions -in the AFS Client component of AFS for Windows, version 3.6. -

    Symbolic Links to AFS Files and Directories

    -

    Symbolic links to directories are treated as directories, and symbolic -links to files appear as files in Windows NT systems. Neither appear as -links. -

    Currently, you cannot use the Windows interface (the Windows NT Explorer, -for example) to delete symbolic links or create symbolic links in the AFS -filespace. If you attempt to delete a directory that is a symbolic link -using the Windows interface, the directory's contents are deleted. -The directory itself is not deleted. If you attempt to delete a file -that is a symbolic link using the Windows interface, the link is removed, -rather than the target file. -

    To create and delete symbolic links to AFS files and directories, use the -symlink.exe program that is provided with AFS for Windows, -version 3.6. Execute symlink commands from your -Windows NT Command Prompt. -

    AFS Client Can Fail to Load When Network Drives Are in the Application Path

    -

    When loading an application (such as the AFS Client), Windows NT -searches for the application's dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). One -of the places that Windows searches for an application's DLLs is in each -directory specified in the Path environment variable. In the Path -environment variable, if a network path is defined before the path that -contains a DLL, the application can possible fail to load. -

    Most services (such as the AFS Client) do not have security access to -network drives specified in the Path environment variable. When a -network drive is encountered in the path and the application does not have the -permission to access the network, Windows fails to distinguish between an -Access Denied error caused by a process which cannot access a file and a -process which cannot access the network drive that contains the file. -Because this distinction cannot be made, the operating system assumes that the -file exists but cannot be accessed by the process. This error causes -the system to discontinue the search for the DLLs and assume that a DLL cannot -be accessed. Since Windows believes that a DLL is inaccessible, it -fails to load the application. -

    In order to avoid this problem, ensure that the directory to an -application's DLLs comes before any network drives in the path. -

    No administrative privileges are required to install and configure AFS -Light. -


    Product Notes

    -

    This section highlights important general information about the AFS -Light component of AFS for Windows, version 3.6. -

    Accessing AFS via the AFS Light Gateway

    -

    AFS Light accesses the AFS filespace through an AFS Light -Gateway. In order to use AFS Light, you must have at least one machine -in the same domain as the AFS Light machine running the AFS Client for -Windows, version 3.5 or the AFS Client for Windows, version -3.6. -

    -

    AFS Light for Windows 95 Requires the Windows Sockets 2 Update

    -

    To run AFS Light on a Windows 95 machine, you must install the Windows -Sockets 2 update if it is not yet installed. This update is available -for download from the Microsoft Web site. -

    AFS Command-Line Binaries

    -

    When installed on a Windows 98 system, AFS Light includes -administration-oriented command suites such as bos, kas, -vos, and pts. Execute the commands within these -suites from the Windows Command Prompt. The command suites are -not available when AFS Light is installed on a Windows 95 -system. -

    -

    AFS Light Must Be Installed in a Directory Whose Path Contains Only ANSI Characters

    -

    The AFS for Windows software must be installed in a directory whose -path contains only ANSI characters, for example the default directory -C:\Program Files. -

    Temporary Files

    -

    AFS Light for Windows occasionally creates temporary files. To -control where such files are created, set your environment variable (TMP or -TEMP) to the fully qualified path of the preferred temporary directory. -If you do not specify a temporary directory, then any temporary files are -created in the current working directory of the process that creates the -files. -

    National Language Support for AFS Light

    -

    AFS provides national language support for the AFS Light graphical user -interface (GUI) tools and documentation, including support for bidirectional -scripts (Hebrew, Arabic, etc.). The language strings installed -are determined by your machine's system default locale, as specified in -the Control Panel's Regional Settings Properties dialog box. If no -language strings exist for the current locale, then English language strings -are installed by default. -
    Note:The system default locale for a machine can be different than the -user locale (specified by a user) on the machine. However, -the language strings installed with AFS for Windows are always determined by -the system default locale. -
    -

    The kpwvalid Password Strength Checker Is Not Used on Windows Systems

    -

    When an AFS user password is changed from a Windows system, the -kpwvalid program is not used to check the quality of the -new password. (On UNIX systems, if a kpwvalid program exists -in the same directory as the kpasswd program, the -kpwvalid program checks the quality of every new user -password.) -


    Limitations and Restrictions

    -

    This section briefly describes the known limitations and restrictions -in the AFS Light component of AFS for Windows, version 3.6. -

    Encryption Not Supported in Simplified Chinese Version

    -

    The Simplified Chinese version of Microsoft Windows 98 does not support -encryption, which is needed to transmit AFS passwords from AFS Light to the -AFS Light Gateway. In order for AFS Light users to obtain AFS tokens -when using the Simplified Chinese version of Microsoft Windows 98, encryption -in AFS must be disabled. -

    To disable encryption in AFS, add the following line to your Windows -Autoexec.bat file: -

    set AFS_RPC_ENCRYPT=OFF
    -
    -

    Note that disabling encryption introduces a potential security risk because -AFS passwords are transmitted to the AFS Client Gateway in an unencrypted form -when tokens are obtained. -

    Symbolic Links to AFS Files and Directories

    -

    Symbolic links to directories are treated as directories, and symbolic -links to files appear as files in Windows 98 and Windows 95 systems. -Neither appear as symbolic links. -

    Currently, you cannot use the Windows interface (the Windows Explorer, for -example) to delete symbolic links or create symbolic links in the AFS -filespace. If you attempt to delete a directory that is a symbolic link -using the Windows interface, the directory's contents are deleted. -The directory itself is not deleted. If you attempt to delete a file -that is a symbolic link using the Windows interface, the link is removed, -rather than the target file. -

    To create and delete symbolic links to AFS files and directories, use the -symlink.exe program that is provided with AFS for Windows, -version 3.6. Execute symlink commands from your -Windows NT Command Prompt. -

    Product Notes

    -

    This section highlights important general information about the AFS -Server component of AFS for Windows, version 3.6. Included in -this section are descriptions of new features and enhancements made available -in this release of the AFS Server. -

    Support for Volumes That Are Greater Than 2 GB

    -

    An AFS volume is a collection of related files that are organized into -a single, easily managed unit and that can be easily moved between File Server -machines to facilitate load balancing across the network. Each AFS -volume has a specific quota associated with it. A volume's quota -specifies the maximum amount of disk space the information in the volume can -occupy. Quota is set on a per volume basis, so it can be increased for -volumes that contain more data and decreased for volumes that do not need the -additional space. AFS for Windows, version 3.6 now supports -volumes with quotas greater than 2 GB. -

    Encryption Routines Used by the System Control Server Are Included with All Versions of AFS for Windows

    Encryption routines used by the Update Service on the System Control -Server machine are now being included with all versions of AFS for -Windows due to the relaxation of United States government export -regulations. Previously, government regulations prohibited the export -of these encryption routines. Thus, sites that were not running the -United States distribution of AFS were not able to use a System Control Server -to distribute configuration files, because doing so permitted sensitive system -information to be transmitted unencrypted. Now, all sites can use a -System Control Server machine to distribute new versions of AFS Server -configuration information to all AFS File Server machines. -

    AFS Server Computer Name Must Correspond to the Name Service Host Name

    -

    The computer name of an AFS Server machine (as displayed in the -Computer Name field on the Identification tab of the -Network dialog box) must correspond to the host name assigned to the computer -by the name service (normally the Domain Name Service, or DNS) used to map -names to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. For example, if the machine -on which the AFS Server is installed has the computer name -afsserver1 and is in the yourcompany.com domain, -the corresponding DNS entry for the machine must be -afsserver1.yourcompany.com. -

    Time Clock Synchronization

    -

    To support security and database replication protocols, the time clocks -on all machines running AFS servers must be synchronized. Time -synchronization software can be obtained from numerous sources; for -example, Microsoft distributes the timeserv time synchronization -service with the Windows NT Server Resource Kit. -

    Securing AFS Server Machines

    -

    If the machine on which the AFS Server software is installed is not -secure (that is, if nonadministrative personnel are able to log into the -machine), then it is strongly recommended that the AFS Server software -directories and all AFS partitions on the machine be secured as appropriate -for the environment and file system type. However, when securing AFS -Server machines, ensure that the Windows NT local SYSTEM principal -has full access to the AFS software and all AFS partitions; otherwise AFS -processes will not be able to run. -

    Shutting Down AFS File Server Machines

    -

    Before shutting down a Windows NT machine that is running as an AFS -File Server, always stop the AFS File Server on the machine. -

    When the AFS File Server is started on a machine, the process creates a -salvage file. When the File Server is stopped manually, this salvage -file is removed. However, if a Windows NT machine is shut down while -the AFS File Server is still running, this salvage file is not removed. -When the machine is subsequently restarted, the File Server starts -automatically and, upon noticing the presence of the salvage file, executes -the Salvager. Because running the Salvager can be very time consuming, -it is always preferable to stop the AFS File Server on a machine before -shutting the machine down to avoid unnecessarily executing the Salvager -process. -

    Use one of the following procedures to shut down the AFS File Server on a -Windows NT machine. -

    -

    -
    Note:In general, machines that are running as AFS File Servers are shut down only -to perform preventative maintenance. -
    -

    Obtaining Crash Dump Files in the Event of Server Problems

    -

    It is recommended that you configure all AFS Server machines to create -a crash dump file in the event of a server failure. This information is -important for technical support personnel to use in order to diagnose a server -problem. Consult your Microsoft Windows NT documentation for -information on how to configure the Dr. Watson utility to generate a -binary crash dump file automatically when an application error occurs. -

    The AFS Server Must Be Installed in a Directory Whose Path Contains Only ANSI Characters

    -

    The AFS for Windows software can only be installed in a directory whose -path contains only ANSI characters, for example the default directory -C:\Program Files. -

    Temporary Files

    -

    The AFS Server for Windows occasionally creates temporary files. -To control where such files are created, set your environment variable (TMP or -TEMP) to the fully qualified path of the preferred temporary directory. -If you do not specify a temporary directory, then any temporary files are -created in the current working directory of the process that creates the -files. -

    National Language Support for the AFS Server

    -

    AFS provides national language support for the AFS Server graphical -user interface (GUI) tools and documentation, including support for -bidirectional scripts (Hebrew, Arabic, etc.). The language -strings installed are determined by your machine's system default locale, -as specified in the Control Panel's Regional Settings Properties dialog -box. If no language strings exist for the current locale, then English -language strings are installed by default. -
    Note:The system default locale for a machine can be different than the -user locale (specified by a user) on the machine. However, -the language strings installed with AFS for Windows are always determined by -the system default locale. -
    -

    The kpwvalid Password Strength Checker Is Not Used on Windows Systems

    -

    When an AFS user password is changed from a Windows system, the -kpwvalid program is not used to check the quality of the -new password. (On UNIX systems, if a kpwvalid program exists -in the same directory as the kpasswd program, the -kpwvalid program checks the quality of every new user -password.) -

    Configuring a Server into a Cell with pre-3.5 Database Servers Requires the Principal Password

    -

    If you configure the AFS Server for Windows, version 3.6, into -an AFS cell in which the Database Servers are running a version of AFS older -than version 3.5, during the configuration process a dialog box prompts -you to provide the AFS principal password. -

    -
    Note:If for some reason the AFS principal password is unknown, you can instead -enter the 24-character string of octal digits representing the AFS -principal's key. To obtain the octal key, issue either the -kas examine command or boslistkeys command on an AFS -Database Server machine. Note, the server must be running in -noauth mode in order to display the AFS principal's octal -key. -

    Limitations and Restrictions

    -

    This section briefly describes the known limitations and restrictions -in the AFS Server component of AFS for Windows, version 3.6. -

    AFS bosserver Process Does Not Execute the Notifier Program When a Process Terminates

    -

    The AFS bosserver process does not currently execute the -registered notifier command (if one is specified) when a process under its -control terminates. -

    Product Notes

    -

    This section highlights important general information about the AFS -Control Center component of AFS for Windows, version 3.6. -

    The AFS Control Center Must Be Installed in a Directory Whose Path Contains Only ANSI Characters

    -

    The AFS for Windows software can only be installed in a directory whose -path contains only ANSI characters, for example the default directory -C:\Program Files. -

    Temporary Files

    -

    The AFS Control Center for Windows occasionally creates temporary -files. To control where such files are created, set your environment -variable (TMP or TEMP) to the fully qualified path of the preferred temporary -directory. If you do not specify a temporary directory, then any -temporary files are created in the current working directory of the process -that creates the files. -

    National Language Support for the AFS Control Center

    -

    AFS provides national language support for the AFS Control Center -graphical user interface (GUI) tools and documentation, including support for -bidirectional scripts (Hebrew, Arabic, etc.). The language -strings installed are determined by your machine's system default locale, -as specified in the Control Panel's Regional Settings Properties dialog -box. -
    Note:The system default locale for a machine can be different than the -user locale (specified by a user) on the machine. However, -the language strings installed with AFS for Windows are always determined by -the system default locale. -
    -

    If no language strings exist for the current locale, then English language -strings are installed by default. -

    The kpwvalid Password Strength Checker Is Not Used on Windows Systems

    -

    When an AFS user password is changed from a Windows system, the -kpwvalid program is not used to check the quality of the -new password. (On UNIX systems, if a kpwvalid program exists -in the same directory as the kpasswd program, the -kpwvalid program checks the quality of every new user -password.) -

    Tokens Obtained for Control Center Applications Expire after 25 Hours

    -

    In order to use either the AFS Server Manager or the AFS Account -Manager, users must obtain AFS tokens. The lifetime of tokens obtained -in either application is always 25 hours and 25 minutes, regardless of the -Maximum Ticket Lifetime designated for the user. -

    Server Manager Displays All Server Entries Referenced in the Volume Location Database (VLDB)

    -

    The AFS Server Manager displays a server icon for every server entry in -the Volume Location Database (VLDB). If an AFS server has been -decommissioned, but its VLDB entry has not been removed, then the Server -Manager continues to display an icon for the server. -

    To remove an obsolete AFS File Server entry from the VLDB on a Database -Server running AFS version 3.5 or later, issue the following -command: -

    -

    vos changeaddr <ip_address> -remove
    -
    -

    where ip_address is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the -server machine that has been decommissioned. -

    On AFS Database Servers running a version of AFS older than version -3.5, there is currently no command for removal of obsolete server -entries in the VLDB. However, to prevent the AFS Server Manager from -displaying decommissioned servers, you can modify the Windows NT Registry so -that the AFS Server Manager disregards all machines with IP addresses of a -specified pattern. -

    To prevent the AFS Server Manager from displaying server machines with IP -addresses of a specified pattern, use the following steps to modify the -Windows NT Registry: -

      -

    1. From the Start menu, choose Run. In the Open box, type -regedit, and then choose OK. The Windows NT -Registry Editor opens. -

    2. Right-click the \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TransarcCorporation\AFS -Control Center key. From the context menu that opens, choose -New, and then choose DWORD Value. A New Value -entry is added to the key. -

    3. Specify the name of the new value entry by typing -IgnoreBadAddrs as the new value. -

    4. Double-click the new IgnoreBadAddrs entry. The Edit -DWORD Value dialog box opens. -

    5. In the Value data box, specify in hexadecimal notation the IP -address or range of IP addresses to ignore. For example, to instruct -the AFS Server Manager to disregard any machines listed in the VLDB with IP -addresses match the pattern 10.0.0.*, enter -0A0000FF in the Value data box. (The -hexadecimal value FF represents a wildcard.) -

    6. Choose OK to close the Edit DWORD value box and save the new -registry entry. -

    7. Close the Registry Editor. -
    -

    -
    Note:To take advantage of this feature, it is advisable to change the IP addresses -of any decommissioned servers in the VLDB to easily recognizable unused IP -addresses in a specific range, for example -10.0.0.1, -10.0.0.2, -10.0.0.3 etc. Then add the -IgnoreBadAddrs registry entry as described in the previous steps to -instruct the AFS Server Manager to ignore all IP addresses within the -specified range. -
    -
