Yep, fully understood. :) It's just while I perform the upgrade(s), so
that I can avoid having to re-configure all the clients at once.

I'm running Fedora's FreeIPA

http://freeipa.org/

and am in the process of migrating from version 1.2 to 2.1, which
requires a re-installation of the software and migration of the user
information. I have setup a new server running FreeIPA 2 and have
configured a client to authenticate against it. Now I would like to
allow this client to access our OpenAFS cell, which is why, I believe,
(this may be incorrect) I need to add a principal from the new
Kerberos server to the OpenAFS KeyFile. Then I can begin to migrate
other clients over to the new server, and eventually remove the old
server (re-install the new software).

There may be a much easier way of accomplishing this, such as
importing the keytab from the current server into the new one? (Just
thought of that) :)

Thanks,

Dan
