.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a process based credential cache.
To use it, set the
.Ev KRB5CCNAME
enviroment variable to
.Ql KCM: Ns Ar uid
or add the stanza
.Bd -literal

[libdefaults]
        default_cc_name = KCM:%{uid}

.Ed
to the
.Pa /etc/krb5.conf
configuration file and make sure
.Nm kcm
is started in the system startup files.
.Pp
The
.Nm
daemon can hold the credentials for all users in the system.  Access
control is done with Unix-like permissions.  The daemon checks the
access on all operations based on the uid of the user.  The
tickets are renewed as long as is permitted by the KDC's policy.
.Pp
The
.Nm
daemon can also keep a SYSTEM credential that server processes can
use to access services.  One example of usage might be an nss_ldap
module that quickly needs to get credentials and doesn't want to renew
the ticket itself.
.Pp
Supported options:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl Fl cache-name= Ns Ar cachename
system cache name
.It Fl c Ar file , Fl Fl config-file= Ns Ar file
location of config file
.It Fl g Ar group , Fl Fl group= Ns Ar group

.It Fl Fl disallow-getting-krbtgt
disallow extracting any krbtgt from the
.It Fl Fl use-uid-matching
use uid only to determine if a user can access a credential or not

.It Fl h , Fl Fl help
.It Fl k Ar principal , Fl Fl system-principal= Ns Ar principal
