I should say some further stuff that might help people for planning purposes. The rxk5 openafs service principal name is: afs-k5/@realm-name when you create this principal, you tell the kdc what encryption types are to be supported - you should not list any types your server binaries canno

Actually, rxk5 provides the kernel crypto (using k5ssl, a kerberos5 library implementation by Marcus). In recent versions, it can apparently do the usermod crypto, too. It's true we've been working with the (user-mode, native) Linux cache manager only so far, but theoretically, the only requi

There's also the issue of accessing in-kernel crypto if you want to use something other than des. I suspect rxk5 will probably work in the linux cache manager to begin with, and require some help to work on other platforms. ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list

Hi, I've just installed a new cell, using MIT Krb5 1.4.3 and OpenAFS 1.4.1. For the afs/cellname principal I have used enctype des-cbc-crc:normal. Now I wonder wether this was my only choice or could I just have used another (more secure) enctype? Is there a list of K5 enctypes I can use for AF
