kswitch (1)

kswitch {-c cachename|-p principal}

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

-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.

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.

FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_%{uid}

Default location of Kerberos 5 credentials cache

kinit(1), kdestroy(1), klist(1)), kerberos(1)
