SYNOPSIS
kinit [-l life_time ][-s start_time ][
-v][-p | -P][-f | -F][-a |
-A][-k
[-t keytab_filename ]] [
-r renewable_life][-R
][-c cache_filename ][-S service-name ][princi-

DESCRIPTION
kinit obtains and caches an initial ticket-granting ticket for the principal .
Options
-l life_time Requests a ticket with the lifetime value defined in life_time . The value for
life_time must be followed immediately by one of the following delimiters:
s seconds
m minutes
h hours
d days
For example, as in
kinit -l 90m
for 90 minutes. You cannot mix units; a value
of
3h30m will result in an error.
If the
-l option is not specified, the default ticket lifetime (configured by each site)
is used. Specifying a ticket lifetime longer than the maximum ticket lifetime
(configured by each site) results in a ticket with the maximum lifetime.
-s start_time Requests a postdated ticket, valid starting at start_time . The value for start_time
must be followed immediately by one of the following delimiters:
s seconds
m minutes
h hours
d days
Postdated tickets are issued with the invalid flag set, and need to be fed back to the
Kerberos KDC (Key Distribution Center) before use.
-v Requests that the ticket granting ticket in the cache (with the invalid flag set) be
passed to the KDC for validation. If the ticket is within its requested time range,
the cache is replaced with the validated ticket.
-p Requests proxiable tickets.
-P Do not request proxiable tickets. (Not applicable to Kerberos 4.)
-f Requests forwardable tickets.
-F Do not request forwardable tickets. (Not applicable to Kerberos 4.)
-a Request tickets with the local address(es). (Not applicable to Kerberos 4.)
-A Request tickets that do not have addresses. (Not applicable to Kerberos 4.)
-r renewable_life Requests renewable tickets, with a total lifetime of renewable_life. The value for
renewable_life must be followed immediately by one of the following delimiters:
s seconds
m minutes
h hours
d days
-R Requests renewal of the ticket-granting ticket. Note that an expired ticket cannot be
renewed, even if the ticket is still within its renewable life.
-k [-t keytab_filename]
Requests a host ticket, obtained from a key in the local host’s keytab file. The name
and location of the keytab file may be specified with the -t keytab_filename option;
otherwise the default name and location will be used.
-c cache_filename Uses cache_filename as the credentials ticket cache name and location. If this option
is not used, the default cache name and location are used.
