Can I automatically cache AD tickets into a file on windows?

One more thing: if MIT Kerberos is installed, is there a way to populate the KRB5CCNAME cache file automatically when I log on to Windows without having to use a keytab or having to run a kinit under the covers?

From what I understand, the windows SSPI implementation does not provide a facility to hold the credentials in a file.  You would use the MIT KFW to be able to do that.

Kerberos experts,
Is there a way to automatically cache AD-generated tickets to the file provided through the KRB5CCNAME environment variable on Windows without having to run a kinit? My understanding is that Windows caches tickets in memory (whereas Unix does the same on file). Do I need to install MIT Kerberos, or (ideally) can I just use the copy of Kerberos that comes with Windows to achieve my goal?
Thanks!
Mauro.
