The default configuration file (/etc/krb5.conf). This default file can be changed by setting the KRB5_CONFIG environment variable. You can specify one or more configuration file names separated by colons.
The default name for the credentials cache file. You can set the variable type to the following value:
[[<cc type>:] <file name>] where:
• <cc type> can be FILE or MEMORY
• <file name> is the location of the principal’s credential cache
If the FILE type is specified, subsequent operations on the associated file are readable and writable by the invoking process.
If the MEMORY type is specified, a temporary cache is created for the life of the invoking process.
If KRB5CCNAME is not defined, the default is to perform FILE-based credentials caching in /tmp/krb5cc_(uid) where <uid> is the user id of the process that created the cache file.
