This should have no effect whatsoever on users working with files in AFS,
including reading/writing/transferring via OpenAFS or other AFS clients,
drive mapping with Samba, or FTP/FTPS. This is a web server change and if
there are any visible effects, they would be seen in a web browser viewing
web site files located in AFS locations that are delivered by www.msu.edu.
We've done our best to find ways to make this change as transparent and
non-intrusive as possible. Where you might see an impact would be in a
situation where a web page in AFS that uses authentication has hard coded
absolute links to http://. If relative links are used there should be no
problems. Users will see http replaced by https in the location bar, and
the lock symbol in the web browser.

Will this change also affect the paths for OpenAFS mappings and/or will
other configuration changes to OpenAFS be necessary?

On May 8, 2008, ATS will be implementing SSL/https for personal, course, and
departmental web sites housed in AFS and delivered by MSU's main web server
system, www.msu.edu. All traffic for sites in /~, /user, /course, /dept,
and /unit will be rewritten from http:// to https://. See
http://servicestatus.msu.edu/status_detail.php?id=2288 for the exact
details.
