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] [-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. -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 REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs, including doveconf -n output, to the Dovecot Mailing List <dovecot@dovecot.org>. Information about reporting bugs is avail- able at: http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html SEE ALSO
