</h2><p>
8 <span class=
"command"><strong>authtest
</strong></span> is a command-line diagnostic utility for the
9 Courier Authentication Library.
10 <span class=
"command"><strong>authtest
</strong></span> requires at least one argument:
11 <em class=
"replaceable"><code>loginid
</code></em>.
12 <span class=
"command"><strong>authtest
</strong></span> sends the authentication request to the
13 Courier Authentication Library, then displays the results.
15 <span class=
"command"><strong>authtest
</strong></span> utility, and the
16 Courier Authentication Library daemon
17 (
<span class=
"command"><strong>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.
