This documentation will help in setting up an Ubuntu machine as an AFS client. Means the Ubuntu machine will be able to access the NJIT's AFS directory (/afs/cad/).
- Installing OpenAFS packages
sudo apt-get install openafs-krb5 openafs-client
Information Required:
- Default Cell: cad.njit.edu
- AFS Cache: Don't change (keep it default)
- Installing Kerberos Client package
sudo apt-get install krb5-user
Information Required:
- Realm: NJIT.EDU (In capital letters)
- Servers: kay00.njit.edu:88 kay01.njit.edu:88 kay02.njit.edu:88
- Admin Server: kay00.njit.edu:749
- Edit /etc/krb5.conf
- Below [libdefaults], enter the following:
- dns_lookup_realm = false
- dns_lookup_kdc = false
- Below [realms], enter the following within the NJIT.EDU curly brackets
- default_domain = njit.edu
- Edit /etc/openafs/CellServDB
Delete all the content of file /etc/openafs/CellServDB and add the following:
>cad.njit.edu #Cell name 128.235.209.210 #ucsafsdb00.coresys.njit.edu 128.235.209.211 #ucsafsdb01.coresys.njit.edu 128.235.209.243 #ucsafsdb02.coresys.njit.edu 128.235.209.244 #ucsafsdb03.coresys.njit.edu
- Starting the AFS Client and accessing the afs home directory
- Reboot the machine. The OpenAFS client should auto start upon reboot.
- Get the Kerberos ticket using kinit, and your AFS token using aklog
kinit UCID && aklog
- You should now be able to access your AFS home directory.
cd /afs/cad/u/<first_letter_of_ucid>/<second_letter_of_ucid>/<your_ucid>/
