# Import Tickets

You can import Windows domain tickets that you have already obtained through a Windows Logon session. Imported tickets can be fully used by applications that require the MIT Kerberos interface. In most installations, MIT Kerberos will automatically import these tickets if possible.

## Turn Automatic Import on or off

In most installations, MIT Kerberos will automatically import tickets if possible. Go to the Options tab and click the Automatic Import Tickets checkbox in the Ticket Options panel to turn the feature on or off.
How to: Use Ticket Options Panel

In some cases MIT Kerberos tries to automatically import tickets but is prevented from doing so by the Windows User Access Control (UAC) feature. If this happens the tickets are still displayed in the main window, but have the Import Status of protected. You can turn off UAC on your computer to allow the tickets to be imported.
