| 36 | \fBauthtest\fR {loginid} [password] [newpassword] |
| 37 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| 38 | .PP |
| 39 | \fBauthtest\fR |
| 40 | is a command\-line diagnostic utility for the Courier Authentication Library\&. |
| 41 | \fBauthtest\fR |
| 42 | requires at least one argument: |
| 43 | \fIloginid\fR\&. |
| 44 | \fBauthtest\fR |
| 45 | sends the authentication request to the Courier Authentication Library, then displays the results\&. Only root may use |
| 46 | \fBauthtest\fR |
| 47 | utility, and the Courier Authentication Library daemon (\fBauthdaemond\fR) must already be started\&. |
| 48 | .PP |
| 49 | If only one argument is provided, the authentication request displays the account information for |
| 50 | \fIloginid\fR, if found\&. |
| 51 | .PP |
| 52 | If two arguments are provided, |
| 53 | \fIpassword\fR |
| 54 | must match |
| 55 | \fIloginid\fR\*(Aqs existing password\&. |
| 56 | .PP |
| 57 | If three arguments are provided, |
| 58 | \fIloginid\fR\*(Aqs password is changed to |
| 59 | \fInewpassword\fR, but only if |
| 60 | \fIpassword\fR |
| 61 | matches the existing psasword\&. |
| 62 | .PP |
| 63 | These three basic authentication requests can be used to troubleshoot the authentication library\*(Aqs configuration\&. |
