kswitch(1) - Linux man page
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).
