Kerberos keytab part-4

Before wiring the keytab into your application, verify it actually works by getting a Kerberos ticket manually with kinit. If kinit fails, there’s no point debugging your application’s Kerberos integration — fix the credentials first. klist confirms the ticket was granted and shows the expiry time.
