MIT Kerberos uses a ribbon menu. Most commands and options are available in the two tabs in the ribbon at the top of the main window. The Home tab contains command buttons. The Options tab contains checkboxes for controlling ticket and view options.</p>

<p> A few commands and options are controlled in the Get Ticket window. The Get Ticket window allows you to choose ticket settings and to clear your principal history.</p>

<p>

Browse the tables below to see what each button and option does. Or click <a href="HTML/Getting_Started.htm#familiar">here</a> for an introduction to using MIT Kerberos.</p>
