+<p>There are four versions of the file format used by the FILE credential
+cache type. The first byte of the file always has the value 5, and
+the value of the second byte contains the version number (1 through
+4). Versions 1 and 2 of the file format use native byte order for integer
+representations. Versions 3 and 4 always use big-endian byte order.</p>
+<p>After the two-byte version indicator, the file has three parts: the
+header (in version 4 only), the default principal name, and a sequence
+of credentials.</p>
+<div class="section" id="header-format">
+<h2>Header format<a class="headerlink" href="#header-format" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The header appears only in format version 4. It begins with a 16-bit
+integer giving the length of the entire header, followed by a sequence
+of fields. Each field consists of a 16-bit tag, a 16-bit length, and
+a value of the given length. A file format implementation should
+ignore fields with unknown tags.</p>
+<p>At this time there is only one defined header field. Its tag value is
+1, its length is always 8, and its contents are two 32-bit integers
+giving the seconds and microseconds of the time offset of the KDC
+relative to the client. Adding this offset to the current time on the
+client should give the current time on the KDC, if that offset has not
+changed since the initial authentication.</p>

+<div class="section" id="principal-format">
+<span id="cache-principal-format"></span><h2>Principal format<a class="headerlink" href="#principal-format" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The default principal is marshalled using the following informal
+grammar:</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>principal ::=
+ name type (32 bits) [omitted in version 1]
+ count of components (32 bits) [includes realm in version 1]
+ realm (data)
+ component1 (data)
+ component2 (data)
+ ...
+
+data ::=
+ length (32 bits)
+ value (length bytes)
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>There is no external framing on the default principal, so it must be
+parsed according to the above grammar in order to find the sequence of
+credentials which follows.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="credential-format">
+<span id="ccache-credential-format"></span><h2>Credential format<a class="headerlink" href="#credential-format" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The credential format uses the following informal grammar (referencing
+the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">principal</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">data</span></tt> types from the previous section):</p>
+<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>credential ::=

+ keyblock (keyblock)
+ authtime (32 bits)
+ starttime (32 bits)
+ endtime (32 bits)

+ is_skey (1 byte, 0 or 1)
+ ticket_flags (32 bits)
+ addresses (addresses)
+ authdata (authdata)
+ ticket (data)
+ second_ticket (data)
+
+keyblock ::=

+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>There is no external framing on a marshalled credential, so it must be
+parsed according to the above grammar in order to find the next
+credential. There is also no count of credentials or marker at the
+end of the sequence of credentials; the sequence ends when the file
+ends.</p>

+<h2>Credential cache configuration entries<a class="headerlink" href="#credential-cache-configuration-entries" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Configuration entries are encoded as credential entries. The client
+principal of the entry is the default principal of the cache. The
+server principal has the realm <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">X-CACHECONF:</span></tt> and two or three
+components, the first of which is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">krb5_ccache_conf_data</span></tt>. The
+server principal&#8217;s second component is the configuration key. The
+third component, if it exists, is a principal to which the
+configuration key is associated. The configuration value is stored in
+the ticket field of the entry. All other entry fields are zeroed.</p>
+<p>Programs using credential caches must be aware of configuration
+entries for several reasons:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>A program which displays the contents of a cache should not
+generally display configuration entries.</li>
+<li>The ticket field of a configuration entry is not (usually) a valid
+encoding of a Kerberos ticket. An implementation must not treat the
+cache file as malformed if it cannot decode the ticket field.</li>
+<li>Configuration entries have an endtime field of 0 and might therefore
+always be considered expired, but they should not be treated as
+unimportant as a result. For instance, a program which copies
+credentials from one cache to another should not omit configuration
+entries because of the endtime.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The following configuration keys are currently used in MIT krb5:</p>
+<dl class="docutils">
+<dt>fast_avail</dt>
+<dd>The presence of this key with a non-empty value indicates that the
+KDC asserted support for FAST (see <span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6113.html"><strong>RFC 6113</strong></a>) during the initial
+authentication, using the negotiation method described in
+<span class="target" id="index-1"></span><a class="rfc reference external" href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6806.html"><strong>RFC 6806</strong></a> section 11. This key is not associated with any
+principal.</dd>
+<dt>pa_config_data</dt>
+<dd>The value of this key contains a JSON object representation of
+parameters remembered by the preauthentication mechanism used
+during the initial authentication. These parameters may be used
+when refreshing credentials. This key is associated with the
+server principal of the initial authentication (usually the local
+krbtgt principal of the client realm).</dd>
+<dt>pa_type</dt>
+<dd>The value of this key is the ASCII decimal representation of the
+preauth type number used during the initial authentication. This
+key is associated with the server principal of the initial
+authentication.</dd>
+<dt>proxy_impersonator</dt>
+<dd>The presence of this key indicates that the cache is a synthetic
+delegated credential for use with S4U2Proxy. The value is the
+name of the intermediate service whose TGT can be used to make
+S4U2Proxy requests for target services. This key is not
+associated with any principal.</dd>
+<dt>refresh_time</dt>
+<dd>The presence of this key indicates that the cache was acquired by
+the GSS mechanism using a client keytab. The value is the ASCII
+decimal representation of a timestamp at which the GSS mechanism
+should attempt to refresh the credential cache from the client
+keytab.</dd>
