<!-- The revision numbering system for GNOME manuals is as follows: -->

<!-- * the first component of the revision number reflects the release version of the GNOME desktop. -->
<!-- * the second component of the revision number is a decimal unit that is incremented with each revision of the manual. -->

<para>
&app; is an applet for the <systemitem>GNOME desktop</systemitem> that monitors
and refreshes your Kerberos ticket. It pops up reminders when the ticket
is about to expire.
</para>
<para>
Once you have acquired a Kerberos ticket - be it via GDM or via the applet itself - the applet will handle the ticket's renewal until it expires. It can also be used to destroy (remove) the credential cache, to acquire a ticket with different options or to switch to another principal.</para>

<section id="using">
<title>Usage</title>
<para>
<application>&app;</application> is usually started in GNOME startup, but
you can manually start <application>&app;</application> by doing:
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Command line</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Type <command>krb5-auth-dialog</command>,
then press <keycap>Return</keycap>:
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>
The tray icon will indicate one of three states:
</para>
<section id="trayicon-valid">
<title>Valid Kerberos ticket</title>
<para>You have a valid Kerberos ticket that can be used to authenticate to network services.</para>

<section id="trayicon-expired">
<title>Kerberos ticket expired</title>
<para>Your Kerberos became invalid (e.g. expired). It can no longer be used to authenticate to network services. This is not a problem if the application that requires Kerberos knows how to request a new ticket via &application;. In case it doesn't you can just left click on the applet an reenter your password.
