[closed] Kerberos authentication with expiring passwords

We are using Java Kerberos authentication to connect to our SQL Server DB from Linux. Here we had used the prinicipal name and the password to generate a keytab file on the Linux system. Currently the connectivity works fine.

But there has been an additional requirement to use expiring passwords, which expire every 3 months. In our other applications we use an API called CyberArk which retrieves the password from a vault and Ops team need not bother about changing the password on the application server located on the Linux system.

Does anyone have any experience on using Kerberos in such an enironment? We are basically looking at avoiding to regenerate the keytab file every time the password expires.

Thank you
