### Setting up password-less kerberos token | ||
|
||
In order for the kerberos token to be refreshed automatically, it must be possible to do so without a password. | ||
Therefore, we create a keytab (similar to a private ssh key) on lxplus using the keytab utility. After starting it by typing `ktutil`, type the following three lines into the prompt and confirm the first two steps with your password. | ||
Therefore, we create a keytab (similar to a private ssh key) on lxplus using the provided `cern-get-keytab` utility. Note it will prompt for your password, in order to generate the keytab. | ||
```bash | ||
add_entry -password -p [email protected] -k 1 -e arcfour-hmac-md5 | ||
add_entry -password -p [email protected] -k 1 -e aes256-cts | ||
wkt USERNAME.keytab | ||
cern-get-keytab --user USERNAME --keytab USERNAME.keytab | ||
``` | ||
and close the `ktutil` prompt with `Ctrl+D`. | ||
This will create a file called USERNAME.keytab in the current directory. It is strongly recommended to store this file in a directory to which only you have access as anyone who obtains a copy of this file can use it to obtain tokens in your name. | ||
|
||
**NOTE** that the domain name `CERN.CH` has to be all uppercase, while the `USERNAME` should match your case-sensitive CERN username. | ||
