This software tool provides a basic interface that tracks kerberos tickets in real-time, allowing users to easily monitor and manage their tickets. It offers a straightforward solution for maintaining a secure network environment by keeping tabs on kerberos ticket usage.
Overall, the krb5-auth-dialog package provides a simple and reliable way to monitor kerberos tickets. With this software, you can receive timely notifications when your tickets are about to expire. In the future, it's expected to be a part of GNOME.
One of the key features of krb5-auth-dialog is its easy-to-use configuration settings. Using gconf, you can set various options to personalize your experience. For instance, you can specify the principal that the software uses to acquire tickets. This can be done by entering the following command: gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/krb5-auth-dialog/principal "[email protected]".
Another useful feature is the ability to hide the tray icon. This can be done by using this command: gconftool-2 --type=bool --set /apps/krb5-auth-dialog/show_trayicon false. Users can also adjust the timing of the password prompt with the following command: gconftool-2 --type=int --set /apps/krb5-auth-dialog/prompt_minutes 30.
Additionally, krb5-auth-dialog provides support for principals pkinit identifier. Users can set this value with this command: gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/krb5-auth-dialog/pk_userid "FILE:/path/to/user.pem,/path/to/user.key" or if a smartcard is used, the command is: gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/krb5-auth-dialog/pk_userid "PKCS11:/usr/lib/opensc/opensc-pkcs11.so".
When it comes to translations, it's important to note that Kerberos itself does not translate its prompts or error messages. Therefore, to translate the text externally, users can use the etpo binary in etpo/. It can extract the public strings that Kerberos uses. Once the translation is complete, it can be checked in for use with krb5-auth-dialog until Kerberos itself is translated.
