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. |
