            Optional configuration directives for the gssproxy daemon.
        </para>
        <para>
            The gssproxy.conf file is a classic ini-style configuration file.
            Each option consist of a key = value pair.
            Any characters behind '#' will be treated as comments and will be ignored.
            Boolean parameters accept "1", "true", "yes" and "on" as
            positive values. All other values will be considered as negative
            values.
        </para>

    <refsect1 id='sections'>
        <title>SECTIONS</title>
        <para>
            A section in the gssproxy.conf file is identified by the sectionname in square brackets ([sectionname]).
        </para>
        <para>
            There is one special section for global gssproxy settings, called
            [gssproxy].
        </para>
        <para>
            Services such as nfs, apache, ssh, etc. are represented by
            sections like [service/nfs], [service/apache], etc. and are
            identified by the "euid" setting (see below).
        </para>
    </refsect1>

    <refsect1 id='substitutions'>
	<title>VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS</title>

	<para>
            String parameters may contain substitution patterns. This allows gssproxy to deal with patterns for
            the storage location of keytabs or credential caches easier.
	</para>

	<para>
	    The supported patterns are:

                        <para>This parameter allows to control in which way gssproxy should use the cred_store interface provided by GSSAPI. The parameter can be defined multiple times per service.</para>
                        <para>The syntax of the cred_store parameter is as
