NAME¶
authtest - Test the Courier Authentication Library
SYNOPSIS¶
authtest
{loginid} [password] [newpassword]
DESCRIPTION¶
authtest is a command-line diagnostic utility for the Courier
Authentication Library.
authtest requires at least one argument:
loginid.
authtest sends the authentication request to the
Courier Authentication Library, then displays the results. Only root may use
authtest utility, and the Courier Authentication Library daemon (
authdaemond) must already be started.
If only one argument is provided, the authentication request displays the
account information for
loginid, if found.
If two arguments are provided,
password must match
loginid´s
existing password.
If three arguments are provided,
loginid´s password is changed to
newpassword, but only if
password matches the existing psasword.
These three basic authentication requests can be used to troubleshoot the
authentication library´s configuration.
