This is the chapter of the MemberManual that describes how to install the OpenAFS client on Windows.

[[TableOfContents]]

Please note that OpenAFS runs a '''service''' so you must have a user account on Windows that allows management of services.  For example, the '''powerusers''' group on Windows XP has such privileges but the default limited users account does not.

= Software to Download =
You will need to download the latest versions of the following software:
 1. Kerberos - [http://web.mit.edu/Kerberos/dist/index.html download page].  We recommend downloading the "''Installer''" with the EXE extension.
 1. OpenAFS Client - [http://www.openafs.org/pages/windows.html download page].  We recommend downloading the "''32-bit EXE installer for individual installations''".

= Installation =
== Kerberos ==
First, install Kerberos. Here's some details to input at certain dialog prompts during the installation:

 1. '''Choose Components''' -- select only ''KfW client'' and ''KfW'' documentation.
 1. '''Kerberos Configuration''' -- the defaults are fine.  Ensure "Use packaged configuration files for the ATHENA.MIT.EDU realm." is selected.
 1. '''Network Identity Manager Setup''' -- the defaults are fine but you can safely uncheck this as OpenAFS will automate Kerberos authentication.
 1. Proceed with the installation.

== OpenAFS ==
Install OpenAFS and input the following when the appropriate dialog prompts:
 1. '''Choose Components''' -- select only ''AFS Client''.
 1. '''CellServDB Configuration''' -- the defaults are highly recommended.  Ensure "Use packaged CellServDB file." is marked.
 1. '''Client Cell Name Configuration''' -- For "Enter AFS cell name" use `hcoop.net`.  The rest of the defaults are sound.
 1. '''AFS Credentials Configuration''' -- These defaults are good unless you would prefer to launch the AFS client manually.
 1. Proceed with the installation and reboot.
