NAME
kdestroy - destroy Kerberos tickets
SYNOPSIS
kdestroy [-q] [-c cache_filename]
DESCRIPTION
The kdestroy utility destroys the user’s active Kerberos authorization tickets by writing zeros to the
specified credentials cache that contains them. If the credentials cache is not specified, the default creden-
tials cache is destroyed.
Options
-q Run quietly. Normally kdestroy beeps if it fails to destroy the user’s tickets. The
-q flag suppresses this behavior.
-c cache_filename Use cache_filename as the credentials ticket cache name and location. If this option is
not used, the default cache name and location is used.
The default credentials cache may vary between systems. If the
KRB5CCNAME environment variable is set,
its value is used to name the default ticket cache.
Most installations recommend that you place the
kdestroy command in your .logout file, so that your
tickets are destroyed automatically when you log out.
Note
For DCE operations use
/opt/dce/bin/kdestroy
.
Environment
kdestroy uses the following environment variable:
KRB5CCNAME Location of the credentials ticket cache.
WARNINGS
Only the tickets in the specified credentials cache are destroyed. Separate ticket caches are used to hold
root instance and password changing tickets. Even these should be destroyed. It is recommended that to
keep all user tickets in a single credentials cache.
FILES
/tmp/krb5cc_ {uid} Default credentials cache. {uid} is the decimal UID of the user.
