Name

ksrvtgt - fetch and store Kerberos ticket-granting ticket using a service key

Synopsis

/usr/bin/ksrvtgt name instance [ [ realm ] srvtab ]

Availability

SUNWcsu

Description

ksrvtgt retrieves a ticket-granting ticket with a lifetime of five minutes for the principal name.instance@realm (or name.instance@localrealm if realm is not supplied on the command line), decrypts the response using the service key found in the file srvtab (or in /etc/srvtab if srvtab is not specified on the command line), and stores the ticket in the standard ticket cache.

This command is intended primarily for use in shell scripts and other batch-type facilities.

Diagnostics

Generic kerberos failure (kfailure) can indicate a whole range of problems, the most common of which is the inability to read the service key file.

Files

/etc/krb.conf
to get the name of the local realm.
/tmp/tktuid
The default ticket file.
/etc/srvtab
The default service key file.
