<h1>Network Identity Manager - Renew Credentials</h1>
<p>The renew credentials action can be invoked via the <a
href="">Credential</a> menu or by pressing <span class="pre">Ctrl +
R</span>. Additionally, if the <span class="pre">Monitor credential
expiration</span> option is enabled for all identities or for a
specific identity, then those credentials will be automatically
renewed whenever possible before they expire.</p>
<p>An identity must be selected before invoking the renew credentials
action.</p>
<p>Not all credentials can be renewed. The actual logic of renewing
the credentials is up to each credentials provider. In general, NetIDMgr will invoke each credentials provider to renew their
respective credentials. For Kerberos v5, if the initial ticket is
renewable and not expired, then it will obtain a renewed initial
ticket. For Kerberos v4, once a renewed Kerberos v5 initial ticket is
obtained, it will try to use a Krb524 translator to obtain a new
Kerberos v4 initial ticket.</p>
