# klist

Enables you to view entries in the local credentials cache and key table.

## Synopsis

klist [ [-c] [-f] [-e] [-a [-n]] ] [-k [-t] [-K] ] [name] [-help]]

## Description

The `klist` tool displays the entries in the local credentials cache and key table. After you modify the credentials cache with the `kinit` tool or modify the keytab with the `ktab` tool, the only way to verify the changes is to view the contents of the credentials cache or keytab using the `klist` tool. The `klist` tool does not change the Kerberos database.

## Commands

-c

  List the credential cache entries. The following are the options for credential cache entries:

  -f

    Show credential flags.

  -e

    Show the encryption type.

  -a

    Show addresses.

  -n

    If the `-a` option is specified, do not reverse resolve addresses.

-k

  List the keytab entries. The following are the options for keytab entries:

  -t

    Show keytab entry timestamps.

  -K

    Show keytab entry DES keys.

name

  Specifies the credential cache name or the keytab name. If the name is not specified, the `klist` tool uses default values for the cache name and keytab. The `kinit` documentation lists these default values.

-help

  Displays instructions.

## Examples

List entries in the keytable specified including keytab entry timestamps and DES keys:

    klist -k -t -K FILE:\temp\mykrb5cc

List entries in the credentials cache specified including credentials flag and address list:

    klist -c -f FILE:\temp\mykrb5cc
