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. -----Original Message----- From: Hoekzema, Andrew [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 9:41 AM To: Jim Green; [log in to unmask] Subject: RE: [MSUNAG] https for www.msu.edu/ AFS web sites Will this change also affect the paths for OpenAFS mappings and/or will other configuration changes to OpenAFS be necessary?
