Long time logins

Once you initialize a session, the authentication credentials are automatically requested. There is a configuration in place to renew these credentials. The limitation is that this is only possible for 7 days without providing your credentials again. So if you want to achieve a session keeps itself alive for longer than 7 days you need to create a keytab File, which saves your credentials encrypted and can be used to authenticate automatically.

How to create your personal keytab file:

Run this script: /usr/local/bin/CreateKeytab.sh

And follow the instructions of the script.
