Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: This enhancement adds support to the keyutils library (as keyctl_get_persistent()) and the keyctl program (as keyctl get_persistent) for the purpose of getting at the per-UID persistent keyring that is made available by the kernel. Reason: The library change is primarily for the Kerberos libraries to be able to use a keyring for the storage of Kerberos tickets. The keyctl interface is primarily for testing, but can also used by scripts. Result (if any):

Description Stephen Gallagher 2013-10-02 16:21:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
Kerberos libraries now have a new credential cache type based on the kernel keyring and persistent keyring support. We need keyutils to provide access to this kernel functionality.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
keyutils-1.5.6-1.el7
Comment 1 David Howells 2013-10-02 16:29:41 UTC 
Support for this has been included in keyutils-1.5.7:

and has been pushed to Fedora.
