Asanka Herath has implemented the desired functionality for the OpenAFS Network Identity Manager credential provider. Starting with the next release, in addition to the NIM notification icon the AFS notification icon will also be generated and will provide feedback for four states: - No tokens: indicated by a padlock with a bright red 'X' beside it. - At least one valid token: indicated by a normal padlock. - Service is not running: indicated by a grayed out padlock with a black square beside it. - Service error: indicated by a padlock broken in half. The 'Service error' state means that the OpenAFS client service is technically running (as reported by Windows), but is not responding to requests. In addition to the icon, hovering the mouse cursor over the icon will show details about the current state (such as the list of cells for which valid tokens exist) and the version of OpenAFS running on the machine.
