Welcome to the [OpenAFS](http://www.openafs.org) wiki. This is a web-based collaboration area for collecting, maintaining, and distributing information about OpenAFS, an open-source implementation of the AFS distributed filesystem. OpenAFS is a caching, distributed, network-based filesystem for securely and efficiently sharing files over a private network or over the internet. OpenAFS has support for a wide-range of clients, including Windows, MacOS, and Linux clients. Unix based file servers are supported, including Linux, Solaris, and other unix based servers. OpenAFS requires a Kerberos 5 realm for mutual authentication of users and servers. Supported kerberos 5 implementations include Active Directory, MIT Kerberos, or Hiemdal kerberos. ### Features ### * global namespace * location transparency * client-side caching * read-only replication * access control lists * kerberos integration ## Guides and information * [[Getting started|GettingStarted]] * [[Creating a new AFS cell|CreatingANewCell]] * [[Windows quick start guide|WindowsEndUserQuickStartGuide]] * [[How to setup OpenAFS with Windows 2008 R2 AD server|Win2008R2ADasKDC]] * [[Windows kerberos 5 AFS service principal|WindowsK5AfsServicePrincipal]] * [[OpenAFS use case at CGV|usecase_cgv]] * [[Add-on tools and utilities|AddOnsToolsAndUtilities]] * [[Where to get help|WhereToGetHelp]] * [[Frequently asked questions|AFSFrequentlyAskedQuestions]] ## For the Community * [[A list of tiny and simple tasks|TinySimpleTasks]] * [[Contributed scripts and tools|Contrib]] * [[Maintaining documentation|MaintainingDocumentation]] ## For Developers * [[OpenAFS developer documentation|OpenAFSDevelopers]] - documentation for developers of [[OpenAFS]], including details of our revision control system, and lists of tasks that need doing. * [[AFS3 protocol information|ProtocolInfo]] * [[New projects|NewProjects]] * [[Code architecture|CodeArchitecture]] * [[Gatekeeping|GateKeeping]] * [[How to build OpenAFS from source|HowToBuildOpenAFSFromSource]] * [[How to build OpenAFS RPM packages|HowToBuildOpenAfsRpmPackages]] * [[Demand attach file server|DemandAttach]] * [[Pioctl interface documentation|OpenAFSPioctlInterfaceDoc]] * [[Doxygen style guide|OpenAFSDoxygenStyleGuide]] * [[Website project|OpenAFSWebsiteProjectPage]] * [[Cache pinning|OpenAFSCachePinning]] * [[Cache manager porting notes|CacheManagerPorting]] * [[Buildbot]] * [[Debugging]] * [[Backup methods|BackupMethods]] ## About this wiki * [[How to use this wiki|ikiwiki]] * [[How to use git to edit pages|GitWiki]] * [[Try out the wiki sandbox|sandbox]] * [[Site Map|WikiSiteMap]] * [[Orphaned pages|WikiOrphanedPages]] * [[Broken links|WikiBrokenLinks]]
