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