p Supported options: l -tag -width Ds t Fl c Ar cachename Fl Fl cache= Ns Ar cachename The credentials cache to put the acquired ticket in, if other than default. t Xo .Fl canonicalize .Xc ask the KDC canonicalize the client name and server name. Useful with enterprise names, PK-INIT, and LKDC realms when the user doesn't know its real kerberos user name. t Xo .Fl f , .Fl -forwardable .Xc Get ticket that can be forwarded to another host. t Xo .Fl t Ar keytabname , .Fl -keytab= Ns Ar keytabname .Xc t Fl f Fl Fl no-forwardable Get ticket that can be forwarded to another host, or if the negative flags use, don't get a forwardable flag. t Fl t Ar keytabname , Fl Fl keytab= Ns Ar keytabname Don't ask for a password, but instead get the key from the specified keytab. t Fl l Ar time , Fl Fl lifetime= Ns Ar time Specifies the lifetime of the ticket. The argument can either be in seconds, or a more human readable string like .Sq 1h . t Fl p , Fl Fl proxiable Request tickets with the proxiable flag set. t Fl R , Fl Fl renew Try to renew ticket. The ticket must have the .Sq renewable flag set, and must not be expired. t Fl Fl renewable The same as .Fl Fl renewable-life , with an infinite time. t Fl r Ar time , Fl Fl renewable-life= Ns Ar time The max renewable ticket life. t Fl S Ar principal , Fl Fl server= Ns Ar principal Get a ticket for a service other than krbtgt/LOCAL.REALM. t Fl s Ar time , Fl Fl start-time= Ns Ar time Obtain a ticket that starts to be valid .Ar time (which can really be a generic time specification, like .Sq 1h ) seconds into the future. t Fl k , Fl Fl use-keytab The same as .Fl Fl keytab , but with the default keytab name (normally .Ar FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab ) . t Fl v , Fl Fl validate Try to validate an invalid ticket. t Fl e , Fl Fl enctypes= Ns Ar enctypes Request tickets with this particular enctype. t Fl Fl password-file= Ns Ar filename read the password from the first line of .Ar filename . If the .Ar filename is .Ar STDIN , the password will be read from the standard input. t Fl Fl fcache-version= Ns Ar version-number Create a credentials cache of version .Ar version-number . t Fl a , Fl Fl extra-addresses= Ns Ar enctypes Adds a set of addresses that will, in addition to the systems local addresses, be put in the ticket. This can be useful if all addresses a client can use can't be automatically figured out. One such example is if the client is behind a firewall. Also settable via .Li libdefaults/extra_addresses in .Xr krb5.conf 5 . t Fl A , Fl Fl no-addresses Request a ticket with no addresses. t Fl Fl anonymous Request an anonymous ticket (which means that the ticket will be issued to an anonymous principal, typically .Dq anonymous@REALM ) . t Xo .Fl V , .Fl -verbose .Xc Print slightly more verbose output from kinit when successful. t Fl Fl enterprise Parse principal as a enterprise (KRB5-NT-ENTERPRISE) name. Enterprise names are email like principals that are stored in the name part of the principal, and since there are two @ characters the parser needs to know that the first is not a realm. An example of an enterprise name is .Dq lha@e.kth.se@KTH.SE , and this option is usually used with canonicalize so that the principal returned from the KDC will typically be the real principal name. t Fl Fl afslog Gets AFS tickets, converts them to version 4 format, and stores them in the kernel. Only useful if you have AFS. .El
p The .Ar forwardable , .Ar proxiable , .Ar ticket_life , and .Ar renewable_life options can be set to a default value from the .Dv appdefaults section in krb5.conf, see .Xr krb5_appdefault 3 .
p If a .Ar command is given, .Nm will set up new credentials caches, and AFS PAG, and then run the given command. When it finishes the credentials will be removed. .Sh ENVIRONMENT l -tag -width Ds t Ev KRB5CCNAME Specifies the default credentials cache. t Ev KRB5_CONFIG The file name of
a krb5.conf , the default being
a /etc/krb5.conf .
t Ev KRBTKFILE Specifies the Kerberos 4 ticket file to store version 4 tickets in.
