README file for libuafs and libjuafs, Version 1.0 05/13/2002.


### INTRODUCTION ###

This Makefile generates two libraries, the standard libuafs.a and 
libjuafs.a, a libuafs.a variant that is designed for use with Java
enabled applications (as used with libjafsadm, see
src/JAVA/libjafsadm/JAFSADM_README). The libuafs.a library facilitates
user authentication at a process level and enables access and 
manipulation of the files and access control lists (ACLs).  By way of 
the libuafs.a klog function (uafs_klog), the authenticated user's 
credentials are bound to the executing process and therefore is granted 
permission to act on behalf of the authenticated user.


### LIBUAFS ###

As of 05/13/2002 the libuafs.a library remains unchanged with respect 
to OpenAFS release 1.2.3.


### LIBJUAFS ###

The libjuafs.a is a new addition to the libuafs.a build as of 05/10/2002 and has 
been added for the following reasons:

- To avoid function name collisions with other libraries
- To ensure that existing applications using libuafs.a will not be affected.
- Utilize libuafs.a functionality in Java-based applications.

The libjuafs.a library implements the AFS_WEB_ENHANCEMENTS and UKERNEL 
(user space kernel) definitions, which are used to enable functions 
such as:

- afs_setpag_val*
- uafs_klog_nopag
- uafs_getcellstatus
- uafs_getvolquota
- uafs_setvolquota
- uafs_statmountpoint
- uafs_getRights

*afs_setpag_val
A function like setpag but sets the current thread's pag id to a
caller-provided value instead of calling genpag().  This implements a
form of token caching since the caller can recall a particular pag value
for the thread to restore tokens, rather than reauthenticating.


### BUILD ###

A simple "make" will build both libuafs.a and libjuafs.a.  Optionally, you 
can make each library independently by issuing:

  make UAFS/libuafs.a

  - and -

  make JUAFS/libjuafs.a


### DIRECTORIES ###

The libuafs/UAFS directory is generated by the Makefile and contains the
object files and local copy of libuafs.a resulting from the build process.
The libuafs/JUAFS directory is the same as libuafs/UAFS, however it 
contains output files respective to libjuafs.a.


### CONSIDERATIONS ###

The libjuafs.a library has only been tested using RedHat Linux 7.1 and 
OpenAFS 1.2.3 and OpenAFS 1.2.4.
