The default identity is the identity that will be picked up by
+other applications as being the default. For example, an application
+that uses Kerberos 5 can use the credentials found in the default
+Kerberos 5 credentials cache. Therefore, the Kerberos 5 plug-in
+considers the principal that corresponds to the default credentials
+cache as being the default identity.
+
All NetIDMgr configuration options can be accessed via the Options menu. The available configuration panels
+are:
+
+ General: General application options
+ for NetIDMgr. Obtain new credentials at
+ startup: If checked, NetIDMgr will check there are initial
+ credentials for the default identity. If no such credentials are
+ found, NetIDMgr will display a new credentials dialog. Run NetIDMgr in system tray after
+ window close: If checked, NetIDMgr will continue running in
+ the system notification area (sometimes referred to as the system
+ tray) after you close the NetIDMgr window. Monitor network connectivity: When
+ changes to network connectivity are detected, NetIDMgr can notify
+ individual plug-ins about these changes. Doing so allows each
+ plug-in to respond to the change by obtaining new credentials etc.
+ If this option is cleared, no such notifications are sent and the
+ application would not respond to network changes. Log trace events: NetIDMgr can
+ generate debugging information during the course of performing
+ certain actions. This information aids the developers in fixing
+ problems that you may encounter while using NetIDMgr. Appearance: Allows you to set the
+ font used by NetIDMgr. Identities: Default settings for all
+ identities and settings for each identity. Details below. Notifications: Notification and timer
+ options. NetIDMgr can issue warnings when credentials are about to
+ expire. This configuration panel allows you to set the thresholds at
+ which these warnings are issued. For example, if the warning
+ timeout is set for 10 minutes, NetIDMgr will issue a warning 10
+ minutes before a credential expires. The panel also allows you to control the credentials renew timer.
+ If the timer is disabled, NetIDMgr will not automatically attempt to
+ renew credentials. If the Renew at half life
+ intervals when possible option is set, then the timer will
+ expire after the credential has less than half its lifetime left.
+ If the renewal operation fails, it will attempt another renwal after
+ half of the remaining liftime is over (i.e. when the credential has
+ less than 1/4 of its original lifetime left) and so on.
+ Plugins: Enable/disable and check
+ the status of registered plug-ins. Enabling or disabling a plug-in
+ only takes effect after a restart of NetIDMgr.Default Identity

+
+ + +The Identities configuration panel allows +you to set the defaults that will be used for all identities. +However, most of the settings displayed here can be overridden with +specific per-identity settings. +
+ +The panel will have a number of sub panels (or tabs) corresponding +to each plug-in that maintains per-identity configuration. +
+ +A list of identities for which configuration information is +maintained will be shown under the main Identities configuration panel name. Each of these +correspond to a per identity configuration +panel. +
+ +Note that adding or removing an identity in the configuration panel +only has the effect of adding or removing the identity to or from the +list of identities for which configuration information is maintained. +
+ ++
+ + +You can access the per-identity configuration panel for a specific +identity by selecting the identity name from the list of configuration +panels in the configuration dialog. +
+ +These panels are similar to the Identities +configuration panel, but they change per-identity settings. Changes +you make in these panels will override the defaults set in the Identities panel. +
