8 | <span><strong class="command">authtest</strong></span> is a command-line diagnostic utility for the |
9 | Courier Authentication Library. |
10 | <span><strong class="command">authtest</strong></span> requires at least one argument: |
11 | <em class="replaceable"><code>loginid</code></em>. |
12 | <span><strong class="command">authtest</strong></span> sends the authentication request to the |
13 | Courier Authentication Library, then displays the results. |
14 | Only root may use |
15 | <span><strong class="command">authtest</strong></span> utility, and the |
16 | Courier Authentication Library daemon |
17 | (<span><strong class="command">authdaemond</strong></span>) must already be started.</p><p> |
18 | If only one argument is provided, the authentication request displays the |
19 | account information for <em class="replaceable"><code>loginid</code></em>, if found.</p><p> |
20 | If two arguments are provided, |
21 | <em class="replaceable"><code>password</code></em> must match |
22 | <em class="replaceable"><code>loginid</code></em>'s |
23 | existing password.</p><p> |
24 | If three arguments are provided, |
25 | <em class="replaceable"><code>loginid</code></em>'s password is changed to |
26 | <em class="replaceable"><code>newpassword</code></em>, but only if |
27 | <em class="replaceable"><code>password</code></em> matches the existing psasword.</p><p> |
28 | These three basic authentication requests can be used to troubleshoot |
29 | the authentication library's configuration.</p></div></div></body></html> |
