Using openldap, kerberos and OpenAFS 1.6.2-1-2.2 seem to
have problem changing to home directory of user.

sssd is used as opposed to pam-krb5.
Is able to login but does not change to home directory.

has anybody got this to wrok?

Thanks.

I don’t understand much of you are saying :), but as user of afs I use this in my fstab:
sshfs#username@server.company.site.it:/afs/.site.it/ /afspla fuse user,noauto,fsname=sshfs#username@server.company.site.it:/afs/enea.it/ 0 0
and I can access from everywhere…
thanx, ciao, Pier :slight_smile:

Hi! I am a totally new user to openafs, and I want to connect to /afs/cern.ch/user/r/rjd/Garfield/Files.
I don’t have any account. I will appreciate if you could help me how to access to the files.

By the way, I am using opensuse12.3.
THX!!!

I can say what I did in my suse 12.3 to access openafs:
I suppose you know how to edit files as root,
add to /etc/fstab this:

sshfs#username@server.company.site.it:/afs/.site.it/ /afspla fuse user,noauto,fsname=sshfs#username@server.company.site.it:/afs/.site.it/ 0 0

for you it should be probably in this way:
username=your username account, if you havent account may be you can use guest, but I don’t know, ask to system administrator
server.company.site=ask to system administrator what site you should use
:/afs/.site.it/=:/afs/cern.ch/user/r/rjd/Garfield/Files
/afspla=the folder on your pc where you mount afs filesystem and where you will find afs files, you have to create it on your pc and use the name you like
fuse user,noauto=are fstab mount options
,fsname=sshfs#username@server.company.site.it:/afs/.site.it/=fstab mount option with the same credentials as above
0 0 fstab mount options

after this I open a konsole shell and type:
mount /afspla
/afspla is the folder that you created with the name you like where afs is mounted
a password will be asked to you
you enter the password
a prompt appear again like as below

me@suse-tumbleweed:~> mount /afspla
username@server.company.site.it's password: 
me@suse-tumbleweed:~>

now you go to dolphin and open /afspla folder and you are in afs filesystem…

this works for me…:slight_smile:
