| The following information reproduces the information from UNIX man page for the KSWITCH command. |
|---|
| kswitch | { -c cache_name | -p principal } |
|---|
kswitch makes the specified credential cache the primary cache for the collection, if a cache collection is available.
| -c cache_name | Directly specifies the credential cache to be made primary. |
|---|---|
| -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. |
kswitch uses the following environment variables:
| KRB5CCNAME | Location of the default Kerberos 5 credentials (ticket) cache, in the form type:residual. If no type prefix is present, the FILE type is assumed. The type of the default cache may determine the availability of a cache collection; for instance, a default cache of type DIR causes caches within the directory to be present in the collection. |
|---|
| /tmp/krb5cc_[uid] | default location of Kerberos 5 credentials cache ([uid] is the decimal UID of the user). |
