94.Sh DESCRIPTION
95.Nm
96is a process based credential cache.
97To use it, set the
98.Ev KRB5CCNAME
99enviroment variable to
100.Ql KCM: Ns Ar uid
101or add the stanza
102.Bd -literal
103
104[libdefaults]
105        default_cc_name = KCM:%{uid}
106
107.Ed
108to the
109.Pa /etc/krb5.conf
110configuration file and make sure
111.Nm kcm
112is started in the system startup files.
113.Pp
114The
115.Nm
116daemon can hold the credentials for all users in the system.  Access
117control is done with Unix-like permissions.  The daemon checks the
118access on all operations based on the uid and gid of the user.  The
119tickets are renewed as long as is permitted by the KDC's policy.
120.Pp
121The
122.Nm
123daemon can also keep a SYSTEM credential that server processes can
124use to access services.  One example of usage might be an nss_ldap
125module that quickly needs to get credentials and doesn't want to renew
126the ticket itself.
