Umich AFS

The University of Michigan does not offer support for mounting ITS AFS space from non-university machines. I was able to set it up after a bit, and thought I’d document it here in the hopes that it’s helpful. For Ubuntu, the packages are openafs-client, krb5-user, and openafs-krb5. The realm name is UMICH.EDU – case matters. Next, as the official docs say: run kinit <username>, (assuming your local username differs from your uniqname) which will prompt for your password, followed by aklog. You should now be authenticated as yourself with your home directory at /afs/umich.edu/user/<username first letter>/<username second letter>/<username>/.
