The steps should be the following:
* Setup `KRB5CCNAME`, which can be used to specify the location of the Kerberos5 credentials (ticket) cache. In general it should point to a shared area
(`$HOME/.k5` is a good location), and is strongly recommended to generate an independent Kerberos5 cache (it is, creating a new cache for each job):

### Slurm batch script example: obtaining KRB+AFS granting tickets

This is the recommended way:

#### Example 2: Shared credential cache
#### Example 2: shared cache file
Some users may need/prefer to run with a shared cache file. For doing that, one needs to
setup `KRB5CCNAME` from the **login node** session, before submitting the job.
Some users may need/prefer to run with a shared cache file.
* From the login nodes:
```bash
export KRB5CCNAME="$(mktemp "$HOME/.k5/krb5cc_XXXXXX")"
```
* Run the job script. `KRB5CCNAME` will be set in the environment of the job itself:
Then, you can run one or multiple jobs scripts (or parallel job with `srun`). `KRB5CCNAME` will be propagated to the
job script or to the parallel job, therefore a single credential cache will be shared amongst different Slurm runs.
