Useful with enterprise names, PK-INIT, and LKDC realms when the user doesn't know its real kerberos user name. .It Xo .Fl f , .Fl -forwardable .Xc Get ticket that can be forwarded to another host. .It Xo .Fl t Ar keytabname , .Fl -keytab= Ns Ar keytabname .Xc Don't ask for a password, but instead get the key from the specified keytab. .It Xo .Fl l Ar time , .Fl -lifetime= Ns Ar time .Xc Specifies the lifetime of the ticket. The argument can either be in seconds, or a more human readable string like .Sq 1h . .It Xo .Fl p , .Fl -proxiable .Xc Request tickets with the proxiable flag set. .It Xo .Fl R , .Fl -renew .Xc Try to renew ticket. The ticket must have the .Sq renewable flag set, and must not be expired. .It Fl -renewable The same as .Fl -renewable-life , with an infinite time. .It Xo .Fl r Ar time , .Fl -renewable-life= Ns Ar time .Xc The max renewable ticket life. .It Xo .Fl S Ar principal , .Fl -server= Ns Ar principal .Xc Get a ticket for a service other than krbtgt/LOCAL.REALM. .It Xo .Fl s Ar time , .Fl -start-time= Ns Ar time .Xc 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. .It Xo .Fl k , .Fl -use-keytab .Xc The same as .Fl -keytab , but with the default keytab name (normally .Ar FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab ) . .It Xo .Fl v , .Fl -validate .Xc Try to validate an invalid ticket. .It Xo .Fl e , .Fl -enctypes= Ns Ar enctypes .Xc Request tickets with this particular enctype. .It Xo .Fl -password-file= Ns Ar filename .Xc 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. .It Xo .Fl -fcache-version= Ns Ar version-number .Xc Create a credentials cache of version .Ar version-number . .It Xo .Fl -extra-addresses= Ns Ar addresses .Xc 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 . .It Xo .Fl a .Xc request tickets with addresses. .It Xo .Fl A , .Fl -no-addresses .Xc Request a ticket with no addresses. .It Xo .Fl -anonymous .Xc Request an anonymous ticket (which means that the ticket will be issued to an anonymous principal, typically .Dq anonymous@REALM ) . .It Xo .Fl V , .Fl -verbose .Xc Print slightly more verbose output from kinit when successful. .El .Pp 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 . .Pp 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 .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Ev KRB5CCNAME Specifies the default credentials cache. .It Ev KRB5_CONFIG The file name of .Pa krb5.conf , the default being .Pa /etc/krb5.conf . .It Ev KRBTKFILE Specifies the Kerberos 4 ticket file to store version 4 tickets in. .El .\".Sh FILES .\".Sh EXAMPLES .\".Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr kdestroy 1 , .Xr klist 1 , .Xr krb5_appdefault 3 , .Xr krb5.conf 5 .\".Sh STANDARDS .\".Sh HISTORY .\".Sh AUTHORS .\".Sh BUGS
