Directory Server Machine: Get a Kerberos Ticket as the Test User

The test user exists in the Kerberos database and Directory Server and the KDC. Therefore, it is now possible to authenticate as the test user to the Directory Server over Kerberos through GSSAPI.

First, use the kinit command to get a Kerberos ticket for the user, as shown in the following example:


$ kinit kerberos-test
Password for kerberos-test@EXAMPLE.COM: secret
$

Then, use the klist command to view information about this ticket:


$ klist
Ticket cache: /tmp/krb5cc_0
Default principal: kerberos-test@EXAMPLE.COM
