Acquiring Kerberos Tickets in Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) and later

Instructions

  1. Download and install Kerberos Extras for Mac.
  2. Launch Ticket Viewer.app from /Applications/Utilities.
  3. From the Ticket Viewer window, select the button labeled Add Identity.
    Ticket Viewer

  4. Enter your Kerberos username and password when prompted and press the button labeled Continue.

    Optional: You can select the checkbox for Remember password in my keychain if you would rather skip this step in the future.
    Name and Password fields

  5. You will now have a valid Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) listed in Ticket Viewer.

  6. You will now be able to run Keberos-based applications (SAPgui, etc.).
  7. To destroy kerberos tickets after a session, simply launch Ticket View.app, select the tickets to be deleted by clicking the x, and then select Remove Identity.
Note: The Kerberos ticket listed in Ticket Viewer has an expiration date. After this date and time (or if a user logs out/shuts down the computer) a new Kerberos ticket must be acquired to use Kerberos-based applications. Mac OS X will not automatically prompt users to acquire Kerberos tickets.
