NAME

6       kswitch - switch primary credential cache
7

SYNOPSIS

9       kswitch {-c cachename | -p principal}
10

DESCRIPTION

12       kswitch  makes the specified credential cache the primary cache for the
13       collection, if a cache collection is available.
14

OPTIONS

16       -c     cachename directly specifies the credential  cache  to  be  made
17              primary.
18
19       -p     principal causes the cache collection to be searched for a cache
20              containing credentials for principal.  If  one  is  found,  that
21              collection is made primary.
22

ENVIRONMENT

24       kswitch uses the following environment variables:
25
26       KRB5CCNAME      Location of the default Kerberos 5 credentials (ticket)
27                       cache, in the form type:residual.  If no type prefix is
28                       present,  the  FILE  type  is assumed.  The type of the
29                       default cache may determine the availability of a cache
30                       collection;  for  instance, a default cache of type DIR
31                       causes caches within the directory to be present in the
32                       collection.
33

FILES

35       /tmp/krb5cc_[uid]  default  location  of  Kerberos  5 credentials cache
36                          ([uid] is the decimal UID of the user).
