Kerberos 5 Commands

The following commands may be of use to users of the RCF facility when working with the Kerberos 5 infrastructure. If a password is required by the command, your Kerberos 5 password should be used.

kinit
Obtain a new Kerberos 5 TGT. Note: This command does NOT give you an AFS token.
klist
Lists your Kerberos 5 and 4 tickets.
kdestroy
Deletes your Kerberos 5 and 4 tickets. It does NOT delete your AFS token, use unlog to delete your AFS token.
passwd
Used to change your Kerberos 5 password.
aklog
Used to obtain an AFS token with a valid Kerberos 5 TGT.
tokens
List the AFS tokens that you currently possess.

AFS Commands

The following commands may be of use to users of the RCF facility when working with the native AFS infrastructure. If a password is required by the command, your native AFS password should be used.

klog
Authenticate to AFS and obtain an AFS token
klog.krb
Authenticate to AFS and obtain an AFS token, and keep the Kerberos 4 ticket used to obtain the AFS token. This command is needed by users that access the CERN CVS repositories. To authenticate to the CERN cell use the command: "klog.krb -cell CERN.CH" and type in your CERN AFS password..
unlog
Destroy your AFS token.
kpasswd
The AFS kpasswd command does NOT work in the RHIC.BNL.GOV cell since the cell uses Kerberos 5. Use the system passwd command to change your password.
tokens
List the AFS tokens that you currently possess.
