| 21 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| 22 | .PP |
| 23 | |
| 24 | \fBauthtest\fR |
| 25 | is a command\-line diagnostic utility for the Courier Authentication Library. |
| 26 | \fBauthtest\fR |
| 27 | requires at least one argument: |
| 28 | \fIloginid\fR. |
| 29 | \fBauthtest\fR |
| 30 | sends the authentication request to the Courier Authentication Library, then displays the results. Only root may use |
| 31 | \fBauthtest\fR |
| 32 | utility, and the Courier Authentication Library daemon (\fBauthdaemond\fR) must already be started. |
| 33 | .PP |
| 34 | If only one argument is provided, the authentication request displays the account information for |
| 35 | \fIloginid\fR, if found. |
| 36 | .PP |
| 37 | If two arguments are provided, |
| 38 | \fIpassword\fR |
| 39 | must match |
| 40 | \fIloginid\fR's existing password. |
| 41 | .PP |
| 42 | If three arguments are provided, |
| 43 | \fIloginid\fR's password is changed to |
| 44 | \fInewpassword\fR, but only if |
| 45 | \fIpassword\fR |
| 46 | matches the existing psasword. |
| 47 | .PP |
| 48 | These three basic authentication requests can be used to troubleshoot the authentication library's configuration. |
