Description Ken Dreyer 2014-10-03 23:01:10 UTC
It would be quite nice if krb5-auth-dialog would support authenticating from a keytab file. This would prevent the user from having to type the same password every day.

Regarding the UI, perhaps there could be a file selection dialogue in a new section in the "Kerberos" tab. Perhaps under the "Kerberos User" and "Kerberos Ticket Options" sections, there could be a "Keytab file" section?

That makes sense. Patches would be welcome.
