<p>Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that uses the concept
of short term "tickets" to allow users to securely access services over
a physically insecure network. Kerberos, or MIT Kerberos, is also the
name of this application. MIT Kerberos provides an easy interface for
managing Kerberos tickets.</p>

<h2><a name="get-tickets"> Introduction to Getting Tickets</a></h2>
<p>
Click the Get Ticket button and enter your principal (your Kerberos
identity) and password to obtain a ticket. The ticket allows you to
securely access all of the computers and services set up to
authenticate you through Kerberos, until the ticket expires, without
requiring you to enter your password again. <br>
