[ome-users] Omero with AFS binary repository

[Paulo Almeida]

Hi,

I would like to use Omero with a binary repository in an AFS folder, and
I saw in the forum that there were people using this setup. Is anyone
still doing it? If so, how do you solve the authentication problem? How
do you acquire and renew Kerberos tickets and AFS tokens? (What I am
looking for is a way to avoid having to store my institutional domain
password in the omero server.) 

Are there any other caveats with this option? I saw threads in the forum
about problems with Omero's temporary directory and other issues, but I
would like to know if someone has had success running a stable Omero
system for some time on AFS (or NFS, for that matter).

Thanks,
