scr#2

You'll be prompted for your account password to allow the installation. This is the password to your account on your Mac.

• scr#3

#5

Copy the krb5.conf file from here to your /etc directory. Since you'll probably run into a privilege issue we suggest you open a Terminal window and run:

sudo curl -o /etc/krb5.conf "http://snap.stanford.edu/moin/KerberosMacElCapitan?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=krb5.conf"

#6

Reboot the system.

#7

Obtaining credentials is not as user friendly as it used to be. Here's how you can do it manually... Open a Terminal window then run:

kinit your_csid@CS.STANFORD.EDU
aklog

Alternatively you can grab this script and save it to your home directory... well you can even add it to your dock. Just make sure you enter your CSID on the 3rd line:

# /usr/bin/env bash

## Enter your CSID here
CSID="tpenny"
...

#8

Open the Kerberos Commander. Enter your username, make sure to spell out the domain name (CS.STANFORD.EDU) in capital letters, e.g.

jsmith@CS.STANFORD.EDU

Enter your password too. Once the Kerberos Commander displays the successfully obtained credentials use the Get New AFS Token button.

#9

You can now find your home directory under under the /afs directory:

/afs/cs/u/jsmith

You can make an alias to that directory for easier access.
