Obtaining AFS tokens

[Jay]

Hi all,

i'm running a Jenkins server in a company and we are using the Andrew File System (AFS, http://openafs.org/).

For doing normal builds from CVS checkouts, everything is working fine.

But we would like to run other jobs that need access to data which protected by AFS access rights. For security reasons, we can't give the user id of jenkins these access rights.

We don't actually need the build job to run with a different user id, but we need the build job to authenticate to AFS and obtain tokens of this user instead, see http://docs.openafs.org/AdminGuide/HDRWQ63.html

This means something like running the build job in a pagsh and obtaining the tokens using the credentials plugin.

I haven't found a plugin yet that does this, but which plugin is doing something similar and would be a good starting point?
