AFS & Kerberos
Best Practices Workshop 2006 |

An Introduction to AFS and it's Best Practices
June 12, 2006 from 9 am to 5pm.
Speakers: Alf Wachsmann, SLAC and Esther Filderman
Now that AFS has become available through an open source license, it
is available to sites and IT groups of all sizes. Although the use of
AFS is simple, setting up your own AFS servers can be a rather
daunting task.
Our goal is to give you the knowledge and tools you need to be able to
get going with your own AFS cell, or to improve upon the cell you've
already started working with. We will provide as many examples as
possible, but this is NOT a hands on class.
Topics include:
- Overview of AFS concepts and semantics
- Setting up and managing the AFS client (even without your own servers)
- A working outline of the AFS server processes and how they play together
- How to set up a new AFS cell: design decisions, initial setup, planning for the future
- Authentication issues: Native KAS vs. Kerberos5
- Backups: How and what to choose to use
- AFS tools to make everything from maintenance to monitoring easier
The day will be 4 90 minute sessions with breaks in the morning and
afternoon, plus a mid-day break for lunch [which will be provided].
