Allow Postdated

Specifies whether a principal is allowed for

 

 

ticket postdating. Postdating is a

 

 

mechanism that allows a principal to obtain

 

 

a ticket that is initially invalid, but that can

 

 

become valid at some time in the future.

 

 

The Allow Postdated attribute applies to

 

 

both user and service principals. If you set

 

 

the attribute for a user principal, the user

 

 

can be issued a postdated or postdatable

 

 

ticket. If you set the attribute for a service

 

 

principal, the server can issue postdated

 

 

service tickets for the service.

 

 

 

 

Allow Renewable

Specifies if a principal is allowed to renew

 

Tickets

tickets. Renewable tickets are those that a

 

 

principal can revalidate up to the maximum

 

 

renewable time.

 

 

The Allow Renewable attribute applies to

 

 

both user and service principals. If you set

 

 

the attributes for a user principal, the

 

 

principal can be issued a renewable ticket.

 

 

If you set this attribute for a service

 

 

principal, the server issues a renewable

 

 

ticket for the service.

 

 

You can set the maximum renewable time in

 

 

the Principal Information>General tab.
