-This file is a rough list of known issues with the 1.5.55 release of OpenAFS
+This file is a rough list of known issues with the 1.7.01 release of OpenAFS
on Windows. This list is not complete. There are probably other issues which
can be found in the RT database or on the mailing list.
(1) File/Directory access is not integrated with windows security
-(3c) Loopback adapter hack:
- (i) prevents use of AFS Gateway
- (ii) requires installation of loopback adapter
-
(12) AFS Integrated Logon:
(12c) If network is not available must store the username and password
somewhere until such time as the network starts.
-(16) Better EventLog handling
+(17) Named Pipes Support
+ [requires modifications to AFS servers to support distributed
+ named pipes but local machine named pipes could be implemented
+ now that AFS has its own redirector file system driver.]
+
+(21) There is no Management Console to use for client configuration.
-(17) Named Pipes Support [requires modifications to AFS servers to support]
+(24) Compatibility with User Account Control (UAC)
-(20) NSIS Installer issues
- (a) integration with KFW install script
- (b) Optional removal of AFS Server volumes
+(25) No support for the Volume Query Quota Interface
-(21) The User Interface needs to be re-designed to separate the per-user
- and per-machine settings. All of the new registry items need to
- be added to the UI
+(26) No support for the Volume Shadow Copy Service
-(22) CIFS Remote Administration Protocol implementation is incomplete.
- Notifications are not made to requestors when the view of a file
- or folder changes due to token acquisition; token expiration; or
- token destruction
+(27) No support for storing DOS attributes
-(23) Remove submount creation as a side effect of AFS drive mapping.
-
- The AFS Submount is effectively a server side alias for a path
- located in the AFS space. This alias is exported by the AFS
- SMB/CIFS Server to the Windows SMB/CIFS client as a Share name.
- This makes the AFS Submount a system global setting which should
- only be modified by a member of the "AFS Client Admin" group.
+(28) No support for Alternate Data Streams
- afs_creds.exe and afs_config.exe should be modified to no longer
- use submount names when creating drive maps. Drive maps should
- simply use the full AFS path name. Submounts should not be
- created as a side effect of a drive mapping.
+(29) No support for Extended Attributes
- The creation of submounts should only be possible via afsshare.exe
- or by the new AFS Client Service Administration tool when executed
- by an authorized user.
+(30) No support for Access Based Enumeration
-(24) Compatibility with Vista User Account Control (UAC)
+(31) No support for Distributed Link Tracking and Object IDs

List of unfunded projects:
13. need to add support for all of the new registry values since 1.2.8
10. Add support for configurable Icon file representing AFS folders within the Explorer Shell
11. Documentation Documentation Documentation
- 13. Integrate KFW installation into the NSIS and MSI installers
14. Add support for server side byte range locking.
- 16. Complete implementation of CIFS Remote Administration Protocol
- 17. Add support for SMB/CIFS Digital Signatures
- 18. Missing SMB/CIFS functions:

- the local cache entries which are then read back from the server.
