doveadm-user

DOVEADM-USER(1) 						      Dovecot							   DOVEADM-USER(1)

NAME

       doveadm-user - Perform a user lookup in Dovecot's userdbs

SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [-Dv] user [-a userdb_socket_path] [-f field] [-u] [-x auth_info] user ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  user command is used to perform a user lookup - to show what information Dovecot sees about the user(s), or if it exists at all in the
       configured userdb(s).

       The auth_info may be useful when the userdb is for example a SQL database and you are using %variables, like %s or %l,  in  the	user_query
       setting.  Or when you have configured the userdb in a way like this:

       userdb {
	 driver = passwd-file
	 args = /etc/%s.passwd
       }

OPTIONS

       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

       Command specific options:

       -a userdb_socket_path
	      This option is used to specify an absolute path to an alternative UNIX domain socket.

	      By  default  doveadm(1)  will use the socket /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb.  The socket may be located in another directory, when the
	      default base_dir setting was overridden in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.

       -f field
	      When this option and the name of a userdb field is given, doveadm(1) will show only the value of the specified field.

       -u     When this option is given, doveadm(1) will only show values from the userdb.  Without -u parameter if any of the uid, gid,  home	or
	      mail fields are missing, their defaults are taken from configuration file.

       -x auth_info
	      auth_info  specifies  additional	conditions  for the user command.  The auth_info option string has to be given as name=value pair.
	      For multiple conditions the -x option could be supplied multiple times.
	      Possible names for the auth_info are:

	      service
		     The service for which the userdb lookup should be tested.	The value may be the name of a service, commonly used  with  Dove-
		     cot.  For example: imap, pop3 or smtp.

	      lip    The local IP address (server) for the test.

	      rip    The remote IP address (client) for the test.

	      lport  The local port, e.g. 143

	      rport  The remote port, e.g. 24567

ARGUMENTS

       user   Is a user's login name.  Depending on the configuration, a login name may be for example jane or john@example.com.  It's also possi-
	      ble to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).

EXAMPLE

       Perform a user lookup for the users jane and john@example.com.

       doveadm user jane john@example.com
       userdb: jane
	 uid	   : 8001
	 gid	   : 8001
	 home	   : /home/jane
	 mail	   : sdbox:~/sdbox
	 plugins   : sieve
	 quota_rule: *:storage=150M

       userdb: john@example.com
	 home	   : /srv/mail/8/70312/79832
	 uid	   : 79832
	 gid	   : 70312
	 mail	   : mdbox:~/mdbox

       The next example shows a user lookup, using wildcards.

       doveadm user *.?oe@example.net
       jane.doe@example.net
       judy.roe@example.net
       john.doe@example.net
