><B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>authtest</B
> is a command-line diagnostic utility for the
Courier Authentication Library.
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>authtest</B
> requires at least one argument:
<VAR
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
>loginid</VAR
>.
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>authtest</B
> sends the authentication request to the
Courier Authentication Library, then displays the results.
Only root may use
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>authtest</B
> utility, and the
Courier Authentication Library daemon
(<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>authdaemond</B
>) must already be started.</P
><P
>If only one argument is provided, the authentication request displays the
account information for <VAR
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
>loginid</VAR
>, if found.</P
><P
>If two arguments are provided,
<VAR
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
>password</VAR
> must match
<VAR
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
>loginid</VAR
>'s
existing password.</P
><P
>If three arguments are provided,
<VAR
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
>loginid</VAR
>'s password is changed to
<VAR
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
>newpassword</VAR
>, but only if
<VAR
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
>password</VAR
> matches the existing psasword.</P
><P
>These three basic authentication requests can be used to troubleshoot
the authentication library's configuration.</P
