<h3> <a name="get-tickets">How do I get tickets?</a> </h3>
<p>Click the Get Ticket button in the Home tab. In the Get Ticket window, enter your principal (your Kerberos identity) and password and click Okay. <a href="HTML/Get_Tickets.htm">How to: Get Tickets</a>
</p>
<p>

<h3> <a name="expiration-warning">Will I be warned when my tickets are about to expire?</a> </h3>
<p>Yes. A pop up window warns you 15, 10, and 5 minutes before your
ticket expires. If you would also like an audible alarm at these
intervals, go to the Options tab and select Expiration Alarm in the
Ticket Options panel.

<h3><a name="renewable">Why should I use renewable tickets?</a> </h3>
<p>
Renewable tickets add convenience, especially if you turn on the option
to automatically renew them. They allow you to run a batch job without
interruption and to work through a long session without continually
reentering your password. <br>

<h3><a name="renewable-closed"> If I set my tickets to renew automatically, will the renewals keep happening if I exit MIT Kerberos?</a> </h3>
<p>
No. MIT Kerberos can only renew your tickets if the program is running
and active. It cannot renew your tickets if you exit the program or if
your computer is turned off or in hibernation mode.</p>
<p>
<a href="#top">Back to top</a></p>
<h3> <a name="forwardable">How to I forward my forwardable tickets?</a></h3>
<p>That depends. Often they are forwarded automatically as needed. Ask
your help desk or administrator for information specific to your
installation.</p>
<p>
<a href="#top">Back to top</a></p>
<h3><a name="RSA-SecurID">How do I use my RSA SecurID token with Kerberos?</a></h3>
<p>
If your company uses RSA SecurID to control access to Kerberos, you
will be prompted to enter your SecurID password after you request a
ticket. <br>

<h3><a name="Command-line">Can I use Kerberos with the command line prompt? </a> </h3>
<p>
Yes. Click <a href="HTML/Command_Line.htm">here</a> for a list of available commands. </p>
<p>
<a href="#top">Back to top</a></p>
<h3><a name="properties">Where can I set Kerberos properties? </a> </h3>
<p>
You cannot use the MIT Kerberos program to set preferences such as
default ticket lifetimes. Instead, edit the appropriate configuration
file. For more information, visit the <a href="http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-current/doc/krb_admins/conf_files/index.html" target="new"> MIT Kerberos documentation site. </a>
