NAME¶

kswitch - switch primary credential cache

SYNOPSIS¶

kswitch {-c cachename | -p principal}

DESCRIPTION¶

kswitch makes the specified credential cache the primary cache for the collection, if a cache collection is available.

OPTIONS¶

-c

cachename directly specifies the credential cache to be made primary.

-p

principal causes the cache collection to be searched for a cache containing credentials for principal. If one is found, that collection is made primary.

ENVIRONMENT¶

kswitch uses the following environment variables:

KRB5CCNAME

Location of the default Kerberos 5 credentials (ticket) cache, in the form type:residual. If no type prefix is present, the FILE type is assumed. The type of the default cache may determine the availability of a cache collection; for instance, a default cache of type DIR causes caches within the directory to be present in the collection.

FILES¶

/tmp/krb5cc_[uid]

default location of Kerberos 5 credentials cache ([uid] is the decimal UID of the user).
