Using the Network Identity Manager (NetIDMgr)

Network Identity Manager (NetIdMgr) is tool in the system tray that manages your Kerberos identities on Microsoft Windows machine. Using NetIdmgr, you can obtain Kerberos tickets, change Kerberos passwords, obtain Kerberos certificates for browsers, and obtain Andrew File System (AFS) tokens, all through a single sign-on.

When you run NetIdMgr, it does not open a window automatically. Instead, it places its icon into the system tray.

First login

After the installation, log into your computer. NetIdMgr will then prompt you for your Kerberos password. Type the password and click OK. The system will continue to load. NetIdMgr will install a new icon into your system tray:
