[TriLUG] Kerberos ticket cache after logout

[Kristopher Kane]

Hello everyone.


Can anyone point me to the practice of keeping an active kerberos ticket in
long running applications like Tomcat?

This is on RHEL 6 hosts - I have access to keytabs.  My first thought was
to use cron to kinit every 6 hours and generate the ticket cache then have
the program read the cache rather than kinit off the keytab for each call.
The cache disappears once you logout and a cron based kinit doesn't appear
to create the cache.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Kris
