17=head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19The B<kas noauthentication> command closes the (presumably authenticated)
20connection that the issuer established with one or more Authentication
21Server processes when entering interactive mode. It opens a new
22unauthenticated connection to each server, assigning the issuer the
23unprivileged identity B<anonymous>. It does not actually discard the
24user's tokens from the Cache Manager's memory (as the B<unlog> or B<kas
25forgetticket> command does). Unless authorization checking is disabled on
26each Authentication Server machine, it becomes impossible to perform any
27privileged operations within the session established by this command.
28
29This command is operative only during interactive mode, so omit the B<kas>
30command suite name from the command line.
