2 * A new Windows authorization group "AFS Client Admins" is now
3 created and populated with the members of the "Administrators"
4 group. The group is used to determine which accounts on the
5 machine may be used to modify the AFS Client Configuration via
6 the UI and command line tools. afs_config.exe, fs.exe,
8 * Modify the WinLogon Logoff Event Handler to query NT4 domain
9 controllers for the remote profile path if Active Directory
10 services are not available.
12 * Fix aklog.exe to not add the AFS ID to the username
14 * PTS registration of new users to foreign cells has been added to
17 * The cm_Daemon thread is used to perform checks for
18 down servers, up servers, volumes, callback expirations,
19 lock maintenance and token expiration. Due to a gaff in
20 larger integer division the thread never performed any
21 work. Instead the current time computation would always
22 be less then the trigger times. This had an adverse affect
23 on the client's ability to maintain communication with servers,
24 keep volumes up to date, and flush user tokens and acls
25 when they have expired. This was broken when the 1.3 branch
26 was modified to support VC7 which no longer included
29 * An initialization problem with the Freelance code was
30 detected while fixing the callbackRequest. The cm_rootSCachep
31 object is obtained during afsd_InitDaemons() but the callback
32 information is incomplete. The callback information will not
33 be obtained until cm_MergeStatus is called from within
34 cm_GetCallback. Unfortunately, cm_SyncOp did not properly
35 test for the conditions under which the callback information
38 * Reports have been filed indicating that callbacks were
39 being lost. An examination of the code indicated that the
40 cm_server_t objects were not being properly reference
41 counted by the cm_scache_t and cm_callbackRequest_t objects.
42 In particular, the cm_server_t objects may have been freed
43 from beneath the cm_conn_t objects.
45 All of the reference counting is now done via the functions:
50 this improves the ability to track the referrals.
52 Each cm_BeginCallbackGranting Call now allocates a reference
53 to the cm_server_t. The cm_EndCallbackGrantingCall either
54 frees the reference or transfers it to the cm_scache_t
55 cbServerp field. These are then appropriately tracked
56 through the cm_Analyze call.
58 * Ensure that the dnlc hash table is the same size as the
59 dir name hash table (as per original author's note).
60 Increase the dnlc CM_AFSNCNAMESIZE to a multiple of 8
61 for compatibility with 64-bit systems.
63 * fix smb_ApplyV3DirListPatches to properly apply the hidden
64 attribute to dotfiles when the infoLevel < 0x101 and
67 * Fix the Freelance registry initialization code. There
68 was a possibility that some systems could end up with
69 garbage in the registry during a clean install.
72 * file and directory names beginning with "." will now be given the
73 hidden attribute when the volume access is anonymous. this matches
74 the behavior when the volume access is via an authenticated user.
76 * Added a change monitor to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance
77 key. When a change occurs mark the root.afs data as invalid and
78 for it to be reloaded on the next access. This allows administrators
79 to modify the mount point list without restarting the service.
81 The freelance client used to provide a fake modification time for
82 the root.afs volume data and its mount points of 7/09/2001 14:24 EDT.
83 Added code to extract the last modification time of the Freelance
84 registry key and use that instead. The time now represents the
85 most recent mount point change.
87 * PTS registration of new users to foreign cells has been added to
90 * Additional Cache Control and Credential Manager options have been
91 added to the WiX installer. See deployment guide for details.
93 * The CachePath setting is now optionally a REG_EXPAND_SZ type
95 * The WiX installer has been upgraded. Version 2.0.1927.1 is now
98 * The loopback installation code may have had a problem updating the
99 %ETC%\HOSTS file which could have resulted in a premature failure.
100 Work around code has been added for the case where the file cannot
103 * The default max chunksize was increased from 15 (32K) to 17 (128K)
104 because Windows sends 64K blocks when using overlapped writes.
106 * The default number of server threads was increased from 4 to 25 to
107 better handle overlapped writes.
109 * The "AfscredsShortcutParams" registry value was not being properly
110 loaded by afscreds.exe. Therefore, the default value was always being
111 used instead of the value set by the installer.
113 * Windows XP provides downgrade attack detection to prevent an attacker
114 from being able to force the use of NTLM simply by disrupting
115 communication with the KDC. This attack cannot exist between the
116 Windows CIFS client and the AFS Client Service. Therefore, when a
117 downgrade has been detected the afs pioctl library will force the
118 establishment of a new CIFS connection using NTLM.
120 * A locking error was discovered surrounding all references to volume
121 server lists within the cm_cell.c source file.
123 * The logged into Windows username was incorrect on Terminal Server
126 * A new registry value "NonPersistentCaching" was added to the service
127 parameters key. When set to a non-zero value, the afs cache is stored
128 in the Windows paging file. There are two limitations to choosing
130 1. when persistent caching is implemented it won't work with
131 this flag set since there will be nothing to persist.
132 2. with this flag set the initial paging allocation cannot be
133 changed while the service is running
135 * An initialization bug was discovered in aklog.exe which affected users
136 who have a domain name for their afs servers which could not be mapped
140 * afs_config.exe now validates cell names against DNS in addition
141 to the CellServDB file.
143 * In order to allow the freelance client to connect to a volume with ID
144 equal to 1 on the default cell we changed the fake root.afs volume ID
145 once again. This time we choose 0xFFFFFFFF. In addition, we change
146 the cell ID of the fake root.afs volume from 1 to 0xFFFFFFFF as well.
147 It will now be impossible for a volume ID to match that of another
148 cell unless the client is connected to 0xFFFFFFFD cells. That should
149 be enough room for growth.
151 * Fix "fs mkmount" command to work with UNC paths and when
152 started from non-AFS drives. It is now possible to create a mount
153 point in the freelance fake root.afs volume with the command
155 fs mkmount \\AFS\all\<directory-name> <volume-name> <cellname>
159 fs mkmount \\AFS\all\openafs.org root.cell openafs.org
160 fs mkmount \\AFS\all\.openafs.org root.cell openafs.org -rw
162 * The algorithm used to re-attempt access to the servers associated with
163 a volume has been altered to properly address the case in which all
164 servers have been marked down. The previous algorithm did not reset
165 the server's down flags so the servers were never actually retried.
166 This caused a problem with active volumes if the network connectivity
167 was lost as could be the case with a network cable removal, wireless
168 drop, or laptop hibernation. With the fix volume access is restored
169 almost instantenously when network connectivity becomes available.
171 * Support for SMB/CIFS browsing has been added to the AFS Client Service
172 SMB server. It is now possible to use "NET VIEW \\AFS" to obtain a
173 listing of AFS submounts and freelance mount points. Support for
174 NETSHAREENUM, NETSHAREGETINFO, NETSERVERENUM2, NETSERVERGETINFO
175 significantly enhances the behavior of AFS volumes within the Explorer
176 Shell. For instance, "AFS" now shows up as server in the Explorer
177 with each submount or freelance mount point visible as a share.
178 The right click menu in each folder now works with full functionality
179 on a consistent basis.
181 * The network provider can be configured to have different behavior
182 depending on the domain that the user logs into. These settings are
183 only relevant when using integrated login. A domain refers to an
184 Active Directory (AD) domain, a trusted Kerberos (non-AD) realm or the
185 local machine (i.e. local account logins). The domain name that is
186 used for selecting the domain would be the domain that is passed into
187 the NPLogonNotify function of the network provider. (see registry.txt
190 * Added a new registry value [HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]
191 "Authentication Cell" which may be used to specify a default
192 authentication cell for afscreds.exe which is different from
193 the default cell for the AFS Client Service daemon.
195 * Added a Logoff WinLogon Event Notification function to afslogon.dll.
196 afslogon.dll moved to %WINDIR%\System32\.
197 New registry entries added to register the dll for Winlogon events.
199 The logoff event will now force a call to ktc_ForgetAllTokens()
200 using the context of the user being logged off as long as the
201 user's profile is not loaded from within AFS. If the profile
202 was loaded from AFS we can't release the tokens since the Logoff
203 event is triggered prior to the profile being written back to
204 the its source location. This is now performed in an XP SP2
207 * Windows XP SP2 Internet Connection Firewall interoperability
210 * The %WINDIR%\afsdsbmt.ini contains four sections:
211 Submounts, Drive Mappings, Active Maps and CSC Policies.
212 The Submounts and CSC policies are now stored in the registry under
213 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Submounts]
214 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\CSCPolicy]
215 The Drive Mappings and Active Maps are stored in the registry under
216 [HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Mappings]
217 [HKCU\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Active Maps]
219 There is no automatic migration of this data as it would be impossible
220 to consistently migrate data to user profiles which may not be active
221 when the machine is updated.
223 * The %WINDIR%\afs_freelance.ini contains lists of mountpoints for the
224 fake root.afs volume. For the same reasons as for the cellservdb file,
225 this information should not be in %WINDIR%. This information is now
226 kept under the registry key
227 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Freelance]
229 The data from the afs_freelance.ini file will be automatically
230 migrated to the registry on first execution of afsd_service.exe
232 * Keeping the CellServDB file in the location %WINDIR%\afsdcell.ini is
233 troublesome for several reasons. One, it is confusing for those who
234 expect the file to be named "CellServDB" instead of "afsdcell.ini".
235 Two, this file is not a Windows Profile formatted file. Three,
236 applications should not be reading or writing to %WINDIR%. It causes
237 problems for Windows Terminal Server.
239 The new location of CellServDB will be the OpenAFS Client install
240 directory which is by default C:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client and can
241 be determined by querying the registry for
242 [HKLM\SOFTWARE\TransarcCorporation\AFS Client\CurrentVersion]PathName
244 The existing afsdcell.ini will be migrated by the NSIS installer.
245 The Wix installer must still be updated to do the same.
247 * Change NSIS installer to use DNS by default; to remove Integrated Logon
248 High Security mode; and to add Terminal Services compatibility registry
249 entries to allow the OpenAFS tools to find the afsdcell.ini and other
250 configuration files in %WINDIR%.
252 * Add support for authenticated SMB connections. This will remove
253 the need for high security mode in most situations. Both NTLM
254 and Extended Security (GSS SPNEGO) modes are supported. Effectively,
255 only NTLM can be used even though Kerberos is now supported. The
256 reason is that it is not possible to construct a service principal
257 which is unique to each individual machine.
259 SMB Extended Auth does not work on XP SP2 unless one of two registry
260 modifications are made:
262 (1) To disable the check for matching host names on loopback connections
263 set this key. This does not require a reboot:
265 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
266 "DisableLoopbackCheck"=dword:00000001
268 (2) To add the AFS SMB/CIFS service name to an approved list. This
269 does require a reboot:
271 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0]
272 "BackConnectionHostNames"=multi-sz "AFS" "MACHINE-AFS"
274 afsd_service.exe will automatically add the current Netbios Name
275 to the BackConnectionHostNames list and then temporarily disable
276 the loopback check for one cycle of startup/shutdown of the service.
277 We assume most folks do not start/stop without a reboot so this
278 will be adequate in most cases.
280 * Fix security hole in afslogon.dll which allowed passwords to be
281 sent in clear text to the KDC in a misformed principal name.
283 * Fix cm_GetCell() to properly handle expired dns entries
286 * If Freelance mode is active and the afs_freelance.ini
287 file does not exist, do not create an empty file.
288 Instead create a file containing ro and rw mountpoints
289 to the default cell using the standard conventions.
291 * Modify the Freelance support to handle the ability
292 to create rw mount points in the fake root.afs volume.
294 * Changed the RPC mechanism used for token setting from
295 named pipes to local. Use of named pipes can be restored
296 by setting the environment variable AFS_RPC_PROTSEQ to
299 Named pipes were required when a Windows 9x system was
300 using a NT system in gateway mode which is incompatible
301 with our use of local loopback adapters.
303 * In afscreds.exe, if a username of the form user@REALM is
304 specified and no password is specified, do not perform a
305 kinit operation. Only perform the aklog functionality.
307 * Add a new registry value which allows the number of processors
308 on which afsd_service.exe executes to be restricted. Valid
309 values are 1..numOfProcessors
311 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAfsDaemon\Parameters
315 * A second MSI based installer option is now available.
317 * Fixed Kerberos 5 kinit functionality in afscreds.exe to properly
318 request tickets for user/instance@REALM instead of just user@REALM
320 * Modify the Power Management Notify routine to wait for the Hard Dead
321 timeout period instead of a fixed 19 seconds. With the longer timeout
322 periods Hibernation and Standby could never succeed when network
323 connectivity is not available.
325 * The following fs.exe commands are now restricted to Administrator:
326 - checkservers with a non-zero timer value
329 - sysname with a new sysname list
338 setting the default sysname for a machine should be done via the
339 registry and not via "fs sysname".
341 * NSIS installer adds options to install Debugging Symbols
342 and the Microsoft Loopback Adapter; the user is now also
343 given the ability to select the afscreds.exe startup options.
345 * Build system modified to generate symbols for FREE (aka RELEASE)
346 builds as well as CHECKED (aka DEBUG) builds
348 * Sites which have a volume ID of 0x20000001 assigned to their
349 root.cell volumes have been experiencing problems with accessing
350 the root.cell volume of their cell when Freelance mode has been
351 active. This was because 0x20000001 was assigned to the fake
352 root.afs volume created by freelance. The fake volume id is
353 now set to 0x00000001 to prevent conflicts.
355 * The timeout logic in the AFS Client Service has been wrong
356 for sometime. It is based on two different assumptions.
357 First, the SMB client timeout is a fix value as was the case
358 with OS/2 Lan Manager. This assumption is incorrect. The
359 SMB timeout in Windows is a dynamic value computed based upon
360 a fixed minimum timeout to which is added time based upon the
361 size of the request and the performance characteristics of
362 the connection. Second, it is the responsibility of the
363 SMB Server to enforce the timeout requirements of the client.
364 This is untrue. The SMB Server cannot be expected to know
365 the requirements of the client. More importantly, if the
366 SMB server uses the SMB client timeout as a value to restrict
367 its behavior as an RX client, the performance characteristics
368 of the local SMB session would be used to prematurely terminate
369 WAN connections with significantly different performance
372 The timeout logic has therefore been modified in the following
374 . the Lan Manager Workstation (SMB) Session Timeout is used only
375 as a basis for configuring the Connection Dead Timeout
376 and Hard Dead Timeout values. The Connection Dead Timeout
377 must be at least 15 seconds longer than the SMB Timeout
378 and the Hard Dead Timeout must be at least double the
379 Connection Dead Timeout.
380 . New registry entries have been added to allow the Connection
381 Dead Timeout and Hard Dead Timeout values independent of the
382 Lan Manager Workstation Session Timeout
383 . The test to enforce the SMB Client Timeout has been removed.
385 One of the side-effects of removing the enforcement of the SMB
386 Client Timeout is that regardless of whether or not the SMB client
387 is available to receive the response (and how would the SMB server
388 know) the RX protocol response can be used to update the AFS
389 Client Service state for ready access by future SMB client
392 This should be the end of the "Server paused or restarting messages"
394 * Add support for arbitrary UNC paths to the pioctl() support.
395 This enables the fs commands as well as the AFS Shell Extension
396 to work correctly when UNC paths are being used.
398 * Fix afscreds.exe (by updating afskfw.lib) to search for cells via
399 DNS if the cell configuration cannot be determined via CellServDB
401 * Add debug info to test whether CM_BUF_WAITING or CM_SCACHE_WAITING
402 are ever set more than once at a time
404 * Fix the management of lists of cm_cell_t structures when using
405 DNS to lookup cell information. The previous code would fail to
406 reuse the same cellID for a cell if DNS was used more than once
407 for a given cell name. When the ttl expired, a single cm_cell_t
408 could be inserted into the cm_allCellsp list more than once
409 producing a loop. In addition, the vlServerp list belonging to
410 the cell was not freed resulting in improper refCounting of the
413 * Add DNS support to cm_IoctlNewCell() which previous only examined
416 * Add cm_FreeServer() function and call it from cm_FreeServerList()
417 to properly garbage collect cm_server_t objects
419 * Add numVCs variable to smb.c to track the number of smb_vc_t
420 objects created and use it to initialize the vcID field which
421 previously was set to 0 in all objects resulting in FindByID
424 * Fixed DNS lookups to work consistently throughout the OpenAFS
425 product instead of just from within the afsd_service.exe
427 * Added a runtime check to ensure that AFS Client Service SMB
428 Server is accepting connections before attempting to mount
431 * Read IP addresses for volume servers out of the CellServDB
432 file if gethostbyname() on the hostname fails.
434 * Fix getcellconfig() to populate both the Hostnames as well
435 as IP addresses when loading cell data via DNS
437 * Increase the Connection Dead Time to 50 from 20 seconds
438 Increase the Hard Dead Time to 120 from 40 seconds
439 (matches the Unix values)
441 * Fixed an assertion validating the number of allocated NCBs
443 * Fixed the build environment to consistently build for
444 Windows 2000 and above. (APPVER = 5.0)
446 * Fixed rx_debug to properly validate the receipt in incoming
447 data with select() and recvfrom(). Do not copy data out of
448 the socket buffer unless success is indicated.
451 * afsd_service.exe will now display a message box to the
452 desktop when it terminates due to an IP Address Change.
454 * installer no longer deletes AFS Server configuration data
457 * installer generates a warning dialog if the RPC service
458 is not properly configured
460 * installer compressed with lzma instead of bzip2
462 * afsd_service.exe shutdown crash solved once and for all
464 * reference counting of smb_vc_t data structures improved
466 * name space collision of smb_fid_t event objects corrected
468 * the output of "fs memdump" is now written to
469 %WINDIR%\TEMP\afsd_alloc.log
471 * the file TaAfsApp_1033.dll is now properly installed allowing
472 the User Manager to start
474 * a new algorithm is used for computing filename pattern matches
476 * afscreds.exe now accepts user names containing instance
479 * Fix the Directory Name Lookup Cache to be case-sensitive.
480 This is crucial in environments in which a Windows client
481 is accessing a directory with more than one filename that
482 differs only by case. If the directory contains "FOO"
483 and "Foo". You want "DEL Foo" to delete the correct one.
484 We still have a problem in that "DEL foo" will delete a
485 random filename. This will be addressed in a future release.
487 * Fix afscreds.exe -M option (renewMaps) to work when High
488 Security mode is off. Also, remember to disable the ActiveMap
489 flag in afsdsbmt.ini when a drive mapping is removed.
491 * Updates to NSIS installer script. AFS Server configuration
492 data will not be destroyed on un-install or re-install.
493 Use a better compression algorithm.
495 * afslogon.dll now uses KFW to obtain tokens when available
497 * afslogon.dll when given an all uppercase username will
498 attempt to authenticate with both the uppercase name
499 and an all lowercase variation
501 * DST modification removed. The fix appears to make things
502 worse after a reboot of the machine.
504 * fs.exe: added "cscpolicy" which is used to
505 change client side caching policy for AFS shares
507 Usage: fs cscpolicy [-share <AFS share>] [-manual] [-programs]
508 [-documents] [-disable] [-help]
510 * Several uninitialized variables have been initialized
512 * It is now possible to obtain tokens using cross realm
513 Kerberos within afscreds.exe:
515 user: jaltman@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
517 Will obtain a cross realm ticket for jaltman/DEMENTIA.ORG@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
518 will will in turn be used to obtain afs@DEMENTIA.ORG.
519 The resulting token will be stored with the display name
520 jaltman@ATHENA.MIT.EDU@dementia.org
522 * aklog.exe has been added to the client
524 Usage: aklog [-d] [[-cell | -c] cell [-k krb_realm]]
525 [[-p | -path] pathname]
529 -d gives debugging information.
530 krb_realm is the kerberos realm of a cell.
531 pathname is the name of a directory to which you wish to authenticate.
532 -noprdb means don't try to determine AFS ID.
533 -5 or -4 selects whether to use Kerberos V or Kerberos IV.
534 (default is Kerberos V)
535 No commandline arguments means authenticate to the local cell.
538 * All of the resource files have been restructured to adhere to
539 a set of rules IBM implemented for loading string resources.
540 These rules had either been forgotten or were not discovered
541 by folks working on the OpenAFS sources. The end result was
542 memory corruption. This is primary item which was preventing
543 the AFS Server from working.
545 * Increased the size of the maximum ticket size stored in a token
546 from 344 bytes to 12,000. Increased the buffers used to convey
547 messages between the pioctl() caller and the SMB Server from
548 1000 bytes to 12,512. The code appeared to have been writing
549 above the top of the stack by quite a few number of bytes.
550 (The increased ticket size is necessary for the next item.)
552 * When obtaining AFS Tokens via KFW, krb524 is no longer required.
553 Instead the raw Kerberos 5 ticket is used in its entirety. This
554 is extremely important as it allows us to use pure Kerberos 5 KDCs
555 as the source of the AFS authentication. The use of up to 12,000 byte
556 tickets will allow tickets produced by all versions of Microsoft
557 Active Directory to be used.
558 - create a user account.
559 - designate it DES only
561 - specify its UPN to be "afs@realm"
562 - assign a SPN of "afs/cellname" to the UPN with setspn.exe
564 * Do not enforce the funky 8dot3 pattern matching rule that the first "."
565 is special when using long file names. (you must use "*.*" and not "*")
566 Instead only enforce it when performing 8dot3 searches.
568 * Fixed the DST problem with creation times being set one hour ahead
570 * Fixed the problem when using \\afs\cell-alias. For example,
571 \\afs\uncc instead of \\afs\uncc.edu. Do not a new cell struct
572 for the alias name; instead simply expand the name. One of the
573 symptoms of this problem was a loss of acquired tokens.
575 * Fixed the AFS Shell Extension. The Symbolic Link menu was empty
576 of strings. (Only English strings provided.)
578 * Fixed the installer to properly replace in use files.
580 * Fixed the build system to cleanup generated component version files
582 * The release build compiled with MSVC 6.0 compiler to avoid the
583 afsd_service.exe shutdown crash. This does not solve the problem
584 but simply avoids it for the time being.
588 * fix afslogon.dll to not corrupt memory when High Security mode
591 * fix afsd_service.exe to not attempt to restore the stack when
592 an exception occurs. (not safe in multi-threaded programs)
594 * fix uninstaller to properly remove the CRT and MFC DLLs
596 * remove a Message Box from afscreds.exe when getcellconfig()
597 fails on a kerberos realm which is not a cell
599 The following is a list of changes to the OpenAFS for Window client
602 * "fs setserverprefs" will leave afsd service deadlocked
604 * "vos listaddrs" will core dump
606 * installer sets the appropriate keys to support Integrated Logon
608 * installer disables the "Find Lana by Name" functionality as it
609 was causing headaches for many users
611 * fix the intermittent crash of the power management thread when
612 shutting down the AFS Client Service
614 * optimizes the obtain drive mount list functionality which is
615 executed every time the mount tab in afscreds.exe and afs_config.exe
616 are refreshed. (this happens a lot)
618 * fix the service shutdown logic. add the STOP_PENDING state
619 and do not accept additional service events after we declare
622 The following is a list of changes to the OpenAFS for Window client
625 * flexelint was run against the source tree and hundreds (perhaps
626 thousands) of corrections were applied to ensure prototypes
627 were in use; types were used consistently; variables were
628 initialized; unused variables were removed; etc.
630 * A wide variety of instrumentation was added including the
631 ability to produce a stack trace from within afsd_service.exe
634 * Dynamic configuration of the RDRtimeout value based upon the
635 LanMan Workstation Session Timeout
637 * The mount root no longer needs to be called "/afs". This
638 is now set by a registry value "MountRoot" within the key
639 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters
641 * The cell list is now only read out of afsdcell.ini when the
642 file changes instead of each time a cell is resolved.
644 * Thread synchronization was added to cm_server.c and ktc_nt.c
646 * All calls to GlobalAlloc()/GlobalFree() were replaced with
647 calloc()/free(). The Global functions were needed on Windows 3.x
648 but have caused a variety of problems on the Win32 platforms.
649 Avoiding them is highly recommended by several Microsoft
650 Knowledgebase articles
652 * Support for Symbolic Links added to the AFS Shell Extension
654 * Added a registry value "OverlayEnabled" to determine if
655 Shell Extension Overlays should be enabled.
656 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters
658 * New Build system to support VC6, VC.NET, VC.NET2003 compilers and
659 separate trees for checked and free builds. Build system supports
660 a custom directory src\WINNT\extra which can be used as a grafting
661 location of organization specific additions to the build tree.
663 * New installer built using NSIS 2.0.
665 * Named all kernel objects in order to allow them to be monitored
666 with tools such as SysInternals' ProcExp.exe.
668 * Introduced new EventLog framework for AFSD
670 * Introduced Power Management interface to AFSD for Standby and
671 Hibernate modes to allow cache to be flushed prior to network
674 * Utilize Win32 DNSQuery API instead of internal routines. This
675 allows DNS SRV queries to be sent to all current domain name
676 servers. Not just one specified in an INI file. DNS is now
679 * "NetbiosName" registry value may be used to specify a fixed
680 Netbios Name such as "AFS" to be used instead of "HOSTNAME-AFS"
681 when the loopback adapter is in use. If you need to use the
682 old notation with a loopback adapter installed specify a registry
685 "NetbiosName" REG_EXPAND_SZ = "%COMPUTERNAME%-AFS"
687 * Refactor all modules which depend on LAN Adapter and NetbiosName
688 determination in a new library: lanahelper.lib. This allows for
689 consistent behavior throughout the product.
691 * Move the afsd.log and afsd_init.log files to the directory specified
692 by the "TEMP" environment variable. This is usually %WINDIR%\TEMP
693 for services. Added the Date to the log entries.
695 * New registry value "RxMaxMTU" used to limit the size of the RX
696 packets sent by the AFS Client Service to the Server. In order
697 to enable OpenAFS to work across the Cisco IPSec VPN the packet
698 size must be restricted to 1264 or smaller. The latest NSIS
699 installer sets a value of 1260 by default.
701 * New registry value "RxNoJumbo" to disable the use of Jumbo Rx
702 packets. This is not needed in order to work across the Cisco
703 VPN but might be needed for other network environments. This
704 value is not set by the NSIS installer.
706 * New registry value "HideDotFiles" is used to apply the Hidden
707 attribute to files whose names begin with a '.'. This value
708 is set by the NSIS installer.
710 * New registry value "MaxMpxRequests" allows the maximum number
711 of multiplexed sessions to be configured at run time. This
712 value is not set by the NSIS installer. The default value is
715 * New registry value "MaxVCPerServer" allows the maxmimum number
716 of VCs per server to be configured at run time. This value is
717 not set by the NSIS installer. The default value is 100.
719 * New registry value "AllSubmount" allows the "all" submount to
720 be disabled by setting its value to 0x00.
722 * Allow cells names to be valid mount points
723 \\<netbiosName>\<cellname>
725 * Store the active state of drive mappings in order for afscreds.exe
726 to restore them upon startup
728 * Add exception handling to generate a Stack Trace to the afsd_init.log
729 file if one happens to occur.
731 * Add lots of logging to help detect the cause of invalid SMB packets
733 * Enable Kerberos for Windows to be used to obtain AFS Tokens via
734 conversion of Kerberos 5 "afs" service tickets. Supports auto-
735 renewal of expiring tokens as long as afscreds.exe is running.
737 * New afscreds.exe command line options:
739 -M = renew drive maps
740 -N = ip address change detection
743 * New registry value "EnableKFW" in {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client
744 determines whether or not MIT Kerberos for Windows should be used
745 to obtain tokens via Kerberos 5 tickets.
747 * New registry value "AfscredsShortcutParams" in
748 {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client
749 determines the command line parameters to be specified when "fixing"
750 the AFS Shortcut in the user's startup folder.
752 * The "ShowTrayIcon" registry value has been moved from
753 HKLM\Software\TransarcCorporation\AFS Client\AfsCreds to
754 {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client
756 * The <cell name> registry values used to store the token expiration
757 reminders have been moved from
758 HKLM\Software\TransarcCorporation\AFS Client\AfsCreds to
759 {HKCU,HKLM}SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Reminders
761 * Obtain the Logon User Name from the Explorer key when available
763 * new text document doc\txt\winnotes\registry.txt lists all registry
764 values used by OpenAFS (excluding the AFS Server)
766 * BUG: rx_securityClass objects were not properly reference
767 counted and were never freed.
769 * BUG: reduce the number of conditions under which CM_ERROR_TIMEOUT
770 would be generated. The existence of a server does not imply
771 that it is not down. If all of the servers for a cell are down
772 return CM_ERROR_NOSUCHVOLUME instead. This prevents the Explorer
775 * BUG: the directory name lookup cache failed to free the entries
776 in the cache when the name cache entries cycled. The entries
777 in the cache would become dereferenced without being freed.
779 * BUG: fs setserverprefs could be executed without Administrator
782 * BUG: the number of allocated NCB objects (100) exceeded the number
783 which could actually be waited upon by the kernel (64). Any objects
784 which were utilized above the limit could never have event completions
787 * BUG: smb_username_t objects were not being reference counted and
788 were not properly freed.
790 * BUG: smb_tid_t objects could under unusual circumstances be freed
791 before they were no longer referenced.
793 * BUG: smb_fid_t object pointer were frequently used even when
794 their value could be NULL. They were not properly released and
795 therefore they were never freed.
797 * BUG: smb_packet_t data structures were not completely initialized
800 * BUG: when Rx produces a CM_ERROR_NOIPC error do not return "Access
801 Denied" because that causes the Explorer Shell to try again until
802 access is obtained. Instead return "Remote Resources" which allows
803 the shell to move on and treat the error as transient.
805 * BUG: when initializing the NCBreturns structure, separate Event objects
806 were created for each NCB although a single Event object was supposed
809 * BUG: smb_dirSearch_t objects were not being properly referenced counted
812 * BUG: smb_tran2Packet_t objects were not being properly referenced
815 * BUG: directory path creation did not handle the case of multiple
816 directories requiring creation in one attempt
818 * BUG: SMB requests which required an Extended Response were ignored.
819 This prevented some files from being written to AFS volumes.
821 * BUG: character strings were being freed even after they were
822 inserted into in use data structures
824 * BUG: inconsistent usernames were used when High Security mode was
825 enabled. (there is still much to do in this area)
827 * BUG: pioctl() calls which require out of band RPC operations were
828 susceptible to race conditions when performed by multiple processes
830 * BUG: memory allocation and deallocation crossed instances of the
831 C Runtime Library producing memory leakage and corruption in
832 afscreds and the client configurator.
