Bearing in mind that I've never used kerberos before, so I may be
misunderstanding something completely here, a little experimentation
suggests that currently the longest ticket lifetime we can request
with kinit is 24 hours?
It looks like it can be renewed up to a week (well six days, plus the
one day lifetime of the final ticket) but you do have to remember to
keep renewing before the 24 hour expiry is reached.
Correct. Thats the current setting. Note that I think gnome online
accounts auto handles the renewing for you (but I could be
misremembering that) if you are using that.
All of which is something of a change from the current six month
cycle with the client certificates.
True, but getting a new ticket once a week doesn't seem like that big a
deal to me. We can of course adjust it if desired.
