A method, system, and computer program product code for dynamically refreshing user credentials in a distributed processing environment. The present invention provides for fast, local refresh of credentials by a server if the credentials expire during an on-going secure operation. This technique avoids the need for rolling back the operation and requiring the client to restart after acquiring fresh credentials. The ability for a systems administrator to invalidate credentials which have been compromised is maintained.
