Can I authenticate to my afs cell using multiple kerberos Realms?

0

Yes. This can be usefull if your organization has multiple kerberos Realms with identical user entries: For example you might have an MIT Kerberos realm for Unix-like systems, and an Active Directory domain for windows with synchronized accounts. As long as you only need to support 2 realms, and one of them has the same name as the afs cell(or the uppercase of the name of the afs cell) you can do this without upgrading to a new version of AFS. If you need more Realms, or if neither Realm name matches your cell name, there is work to support this in the development tree. In order to make this work, you need to do 4 things.
