NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       krb_set_tkt_string - set Kerberos ticket cache file name

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <krb.h>

       void krb_set_tkt_string(filename)
       char *filename;

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       krb_set_tkt_string  sets  the  name of the file that holds
       the user's cache of Kerberos server tickets and associated
       session keys.

       The  string  filename passed in is copied into local storage.
  Only MAXPATHLEN-1 (see <sys/param.h>) characters  of
       the filename are copied in for use as the cache file name.

       This  routine  should  be  called  during  initialization,
       before  other  Kerberos routines are called; otherwise the
       routines which fetch the ticket cache  file  name  may  be
       called and return an undesired ticket file name until this
       routine is called.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

       /tmp/tkt[uid]       default ticket file name,  unless  the
                           environment variable KRBTKFILE is set.
                           [uid] denotes the user's uid, in decimal.
