## Leash Screen Display (Kerberometer and Dash Notification)

The window title contains the name “Leash” followed by the current date and time. Below the title are a menu bar; a tool bar (optional); a tree view; and a status bar (optional).

The root of the Leash tree view shows the active user principal name (user@REALM). This entry appears with a "+" icon and a Kerberos icon to its left. Click on this plus icon of a line to expand the branch, displaying a "-" icon. To retract the branch click on the minus sign.

Below user principal, the tree contains ticket categories. Below each ticket category are the current tickets belonging to the group. Each ticket entry contains the current ticket status, the time it was issued, the time it will expire, and the service principal and flags. For Kerberos 5 tickets, encryption types and network address information are listed below each ticket.

The tree updates once per minute. If you need an immediate update of your ticket status, you can either click in the window or the press the Update Display button on the toolbar.

On the right of the status bar is a display of the remaining time of your tickets (both Kerberos 4 and Kerberos 5, as some programs obtain only Kerberos 4 tickets, these are not necessarily the same) in hours, minutes, and seconds. This used to be known as the Kerberometer.

Each ticket is described and represented by an icon of a little ticket. The color of the ticket changes based on its viability:

green = normal

yellow = tickets are within 15 minutes of expiration

red = tickets have expired, or you have no tickets

gray = these tickets are not available to you

At 15, 10, and 5 minutes before your Kerberos tickets expire, a screen pops up to warn that your Kerberos tickets will expire soon and to give you the opportunity to renew them. This used to be known as Dash-style notification.
