+<h2>DESCRIPTION<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>The Kerberos system authenticates individual users in a network
+environment. After authenticating yourself to Kerberos, you can use
+Kerberos-enabled programs without having to present passwords or
+certificates to those programs.</p>
+<p>If you receive the following response from <a class="reference internal" href="../user_commands/kinit.html#kinit-1"><span class="std std-ref">kinit</span></a>:</p>
+<p>kinit: Client not found in Kerberos database while getting initial
+credentials</p>
+<p>you haven’t been registered as a Kerberos user. See your system
+administrator.</p>
+<p>A Kerberos name usually contains three parts. The first is the
+<strong>primary</strong>, which is usually a user’s or service’s name. The second
+is the <strong>instance</strong>, which in the case of a user is usually null.
+Some users may have privileged instances, however, such as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">root</span></code> or
+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">admin</span></code>. In the case of a service, the instance is the fully
+qualified name of the machine on which it runs; i.e. there can be an
+ssh service running on the machine ABC (<a class="reference external" href="mailto:ssh/ABC&#37;&#52;&#48;REALM">ssh/ABC<span>&#64;</span>REALM</a>), which is
+different from the ssh service running on the machine XYZ
+(<a class="reference external" href="mailto:ssh/XYZ&#37;&#52;&#48;REALM">ssh/XYZ<span>&#64;</span>REALM</a>). The third part of a Kerberos name is the <strong>realm</strong>.
+The realm corresponds to the Kerberos service providing authentication
+for the principal. Realms are conventionally all-uppercase, and often
+match the end of hostnames in the realm (for instance, host01.example.com
+might be in realm EXAMPLE.COM).</p>
+<p>When writing a Kerberos name, the principal name is separated from the
+instance (if not null) by a slash, and the realm (if not the local
+realm) follows, preceded by an “&#64;” sign. The following are examples
+of valid Kerberos names:</p>
+<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">david</span>
+<span class="n">jennifer</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">admin</span>
+<span class="n">joeuser</span><span class="nd">@BLEEP</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">COM</span>
+<span class="n">cbrown</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">root</span><span class="nd">@FUBAR</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">ORG</span>
+</pre></div>
+</div>
+<p>When you authenticate yourself with Kerberos you get an initial
+Kerberos <strong>ticket</strong>. (A Kerberos ticket is an encrypted protocol
+message that provides authentication.) Kerberos uses this ticket for
+network utilities such as ssh. The ticket transactions are done
+transparently, so you don’t have to worry about their management.</p>
+<p>Note, however, that tickets expire. Administrators may configure more
+privileged tickets, such as those with service or instance of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">root</span></code>
+or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">admin</span></code>, to expire in a few minutes, while tickets that carry
+more ordinary privileges may be good for several hours or a day. If
+your login session extends beyond the time limit, you will have to
+re-authenticate yourself to Kerberos to get new tickets using the
+<a class="reference internal" href="../user_commands/kinit.html#kinit-1"><span class="std std-ref">kinit</span></a> command.</p>
+<p>Some tickets are <strong>renewable</strong> beyond their initial lifetime. This
+means that <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">kinit</span> <span class="pre">-R</span></code> can extend their lifetime without requiring
+you to re-authenticate.</p>
+<p>If you wish to delete your local tickets, use the <a class="reference internal" href="../user_commands/kdestroy.html#kdestroy-1"><span class="std std-ref">kdestroy</span></a>
+command.</p>
+<p>Kerberos tickets can be forwarded. In order to forward tickets, you
+must request <strong>forwardable</strong> tickets when you kinit. Once you have
+forwardable tickets, most Kerberos programs have a command line option
+to forward them to the remote host. This can be useful for, e.g.,
+running kinit on your local machine and then sshing into another to do
+work. Note that this should not be done on untrusted machines since
+they will then have your tickets.</p>

+<div class="section" id="environment-variables">
+<h2>ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES<a class="headerlink" href="#environment-variables" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Several environment variables affect the operation of Kerberos-enabled
+programs. These include:</p>
+<dl class="docutils">
+<dt><strong>KRB5CCNAME</strong></dt>
+<dd><p class="first">Default name for the credentials cache file, in the form
+<em>TYPE</em>:<em>residual</em>. The type of the default cache may determine
+the availability of a cache collection. <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">FILE</span></code> is not a
+collection type; <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">KEYRING</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DIR</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">KCM</span></code> are.</p>
+<p class="last">If not set, the value of <strong>default_ccache_name</strong> from
+configuration files (see <strong>KRB5_CONFIG</strong>) will be used. If that
+is also not set, the default <em>type</em> is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">FILE</span></code>, and the
+<em>residual</em> is the path /tmp/krb5cc_*uid*, where <em>uid</em> is the
+decimal user ID of the user.</p>
+</dd>
+<dt><strong>KRB5_KTNAME</strong></dt>
+<dd>Specifies the location of the default keytab file, in the form
+<em>TYPE</em>:<em>residual</em>. If no <em>type</em> is present, the <strong>FILE</strong> type is
+assumed and <em>residual</em> is the pathname of the keytab file. If
+unset, <a class="reference internal" href="../../mitK5defaults.html#paths"><span class="std std-ref">DEFKTNAME</span></a> will be used.</dd>
+<dt><strong>KRB5_CONFIG</strong></dt>
+<dd>Specifies the location of the Kerberos configuration file. The
+default is <a class="reference internal" href="../../mitK5defaults.html#paths"><span class="std std-ref">SYSCONFDIR</span></a><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/krb5.conf</span></code>. Multiple filenames can
+be specified, separated by a colon; all files which are present
+will be read.</dd>
+<dt><strong>KRB5_KDC_PROFILE</strong></dt>
+<dd>Specifies the location of the KDC configuration file, which
+contains additional configuration directives for the Key
+Distribution Center daemon and associated programs. The default
+is <a class="reference internal" href="../../mitK5defaults.html#paths"><span class="std std-ref">LOCALSTATEDIR</span></a><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/krb5kdc</span></code><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/kdc.conf</span></code>.</dd>
+<dt><strong>KRB5RCACHENAME</strong></dt>
+<dd>(New in release 1.18) Specifies the location of the default replay
+cache, in the form <em>type</em>:<em>residual</em>. The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">file2</span></code> type with a
+pathname residual specifies a replay cache file in the version-2
+format in the specified location. The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">none</span></code> type (residual is
+ignored) disables the replay cache. The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dfl</span></code> type (residual is
+ignored) indicates the default, which uses a file2 replay cache in
+a temporary directory. The default is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dfl:</span></code>.</dd>
+<dt><strong>KRB5RCACHETYPE</strong></dt>
+<dd>Specifies the type of the default replay cache, if
+<strong>KRB5RCACHENAME</strong> is unspecified. No residual can be specified,
+so <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">none</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dfl</span></code> are the only useful types.</dd>
+<dt><strong>KRB5RCACHEDIR</strong></dt>
+<dd>Specifies the directory used by the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dfl</span></code> replay cache type.
+The default is the value of the <strong>TMPDIR</strong> environment variable,
+or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/var/tmp</span></code> if <strong>TMPDIR</strong> is not set.</dd>
+<dt><strong>KRB5_TRACE</strong></dt>
+<dd>Specifies a filename to write trace log output to. Trace logs can
+help illuminate decisions made internally by the Kerberos
+libraries. For example, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">env</span> <span class="pre">KRB5_TRACE=/dev/stderr</span> <span class="pre">kinit</span></code>
+would send tracing information for <a class="reference internal" href="../user_commands/kinit.html#kinit-1"><span class="std std-ref">kinit</span></a> to
+<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/dev/stderr</span></code>. The default is not to write trace log output
+anywhere.</dd>
+<dt><strong>KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME</strong></dt>
+<dd>Default client keytab file name. If unset, <a class="reference internal" href="../../mitK5defaults.html#paths"><span class="std std-ref">DEFCKTNAME</span></a> will be
+used).</dd>
+<dt><strong>KPROP_PORT</strong></dt>
+<dd><a class="reference internal" href="../../admin/admin_commands/kprop.html#kprop-8"><span class="std std-ref">kprop</span></a> port to use. Defaults to 754.</dd>
+<dt><strong>GSS_MECH_CONFIG</strong></dt>
+<dd>Specifies a filename containing GSSAPI mechanism module
+configuration. The default is to read <a class="reference internal" href="../../mitK5defaults.html#paths"><span class="std std-ref">SYSCONFDIR</span></a><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/gss/mech</span></code>
+and files with a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.conf</span></code> suffix within the directory
+<a class="reference internal" href="../../mitK5defaults.html#paths"><span class="std std-ref">SYSCONFDIR</span></a><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/gss/mech.d</span></code>.</dd>
+</dl>
+<p>Most environment variables are disabled for certain programs, such as
+login system programs and setuid programs, which are designed to be
+secure when run within an untrusted process environment.</p>
