✨ KSWITCH(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to kswitch — the MIT Kerberos girlie that switches your primary ticket cache 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

kswitch — switch primary ticket cache 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kswitch {-c cachename|-p principal}

that's it. that's the whole vibe. pick one of the two, no cap 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

kswitch makes the specified credential cache the primary cache for the collection, if a cache collection is available. that's the whole job. she's not doing extra. she's not doing less. main character energy only 👑

lowkey important: if there's no cache collection available, there's nothing to switch. just saying. 🙈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -c cachename — directly specifies the credential cache to be made primary. you're telling her exactly which one, no searching, no guessing, straight to the point, iconic 🎯
  • -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. so like, she goes shopping through the collection looking for the right one 🛍️✨

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

see kerberos for a description of Kerberos environment variables. all the env var lore lives over there, iykyk 🧚

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_%{uid} — default location of Kerberos 5 credentials cache. that's where the goods live by default 💜
