NAME
       //usr/$LIB/security/pam_krb5/pam_krb5_cchelper - Credential cache helper

SYNOPSIS
       pam_krb5_cchelper [-c|-u|-d] [ccname] [uid] [gid]

DESCRIPTION
       The pam_krb5.so module uses pam_krb5_cchelper to create, update, and remove credential caches.

ARGUMENTS
       -c|-u|-d
	      A  flag  indicating whether the helper is expected to create, update, or destroy a ccache.  When creating a ccache, the ccname argu-
	      ment should be a name or a pattern ending in XXXXXX.  When updating or deleting a ccache, the ccname argument should be the name	of
	      an extant ccache.

       ccname A credential cache name or name pattern of the form TYPE:/tmp/foo or TYPE:/tmp/fooXXXXXX.

       uid    An  optional  numeric  UID which the helper will attempt to switch to before creating a ccache.  The helper continues in its task if
	      the attempt fails.

       gid    An optional numeric GID which the helper will attempt to switch to before creating a ccache.  The helper continues in  its  task	if
	      the attempt fails.

OPERATION
       The helper will read contents from its standard input.
       If input of suitable length is not read, the specified credential cache is deleted.
       If  input  of  suitable	length is read, a temporary file is created and the input is stored to the file.  If TYPE is FILE, the file's name
       will be based on the pattern and the name of this new credential cache will be printed.	If TYPE is not FILE, a new credential  cache  will
       be  created and the contents of the temporary file will be treated as a credential cache whose contents will be copied into the new creden-
       tial cache, whose name will be printed.

FILES
       //usr/$LIB/security/pam_krb5.so
