kerberos ticket cache

[Andrew Levin]

Hi,

I have noticed that even after I delete my kerberos ticket cache, as below, I remain authenticated (eg I can open files in an area where kerberos authentication is required). How is this possible?

[anlevin at lxplus0055 ~]$ klist
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_13535_4nn0mf
Default principal: anlevin at CERN.CH

Valid starting     Expires            Service principal
07/10/15 09:54:58  07/11/15 10:54:58  krbtgt/CERN.CH at CERN.CH
        renew until 07/15/15 09:54:58
07/10/15 09:54:59  07/11/15 10:54:58  afs/cern.ch at CERN.CH
        renew until 07/15/15 09:54:58
[anlevin at lxplus0055 ~]$ rm /tmp/krb5cc_13535_4nn0mf

Thanks.

Andrew
