Interesting. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04: $ klist klist: No credentials cache found (filename: /tmp/krb5cc_1000) $ make check ... $ klist Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000 Default principal: te...@example.com Valid starting Expires Service principal ... krbtgt/example....@example.com ... postgres/auth-test-localhost.postgresql.example.com@ ... postgres/auth-test-localhost.postgresql.example....@example.com I wonder if your use of a KCM cache type rather than FILE makes the difference? > Also, why are you only setting the ENV variable within narrow parts > of the test script? I'd be inclined to enforce it throughout. I considered it and decided I didn't want to pollute the server's environment with it, since the server shouldn't need the client cache. But I think it'd be fine (and match the current situation) if it were set once for the whole script, if you prefer. --Jacob
