View Kerberos tickets with Ticket Viewer in Snow Leopard
Throughout the history of Mac OS X’s inclusion of Kerberos, there has been a Kerberos application available in /System/Library/CoreServices. This utility was the graphical interface for managing Kerberos tickets &mdash. It put a Mac OS X face on the MIT Kerberos command line tools like kinit, klist, and kdestroy.
In Snow Leopard, that utility is replaced by a new application called “Ticket Viewer.” I’m not sure of the reason for the change, as it seems arbitrary, but it is what it is. (And it’s not as if Apple hasn’t changed more heavily-used application’s names — the Print Center vs. Printer Setup Utility situation springs to mind.)
Those of you who may have linked to the Kerberos application — I liked having a symlink in /Applications/Utilities, for example — should update those links. (I also have to update my explicit indexing of that application for LaunchBar, because it doesn’t scan all of /System/Library/CoreServices by default.)
The Ticket Viewer is also available from the application menu in Keychain Access. It has the keyboard shortcut of Command-Option-K.
