NAME

       sivtest - interactive MANAGESIEVE test program

SYNOPSIS

       sivtest [ -t keyfile ] [ -p port ] [ -m mechanism ]
	       [ -a userid ] [ -u userid ] [ -k num ] [ -l num ]
	       [ -r realm ] [ -f file ] [ -n num ] [ -c ]
	       [ -i ] [ -o option=value ] [ -v ] hostname

DESCRIPTION

       sivtest is a utility that allows you to authenticate to a MANAGESIEVE server and interactively issue commands to it. Once authenticated you
       may issue any MANAGESIEVE command by simply typing it in. It is capable of multiple SASL authentication mechanisms and  handles	encryption
       layers transparently. This utility is often used for testing the operation of a timsieved server. Also those developing MANAGESIEVE clients
       find it useful.

OPTIONS

       -t keyfile
	      Enable TLS.  keyfile contains the TLS public and private keys.  Specify "" to negotiate a TLS  encryption  layer	but  not  use  TLS
	      authentication.

       -p port
	      Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to sieve as defined in /etc/services.

       -m mechanism
	      Force  sivtest  to use mechanism for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism supported by the server
	      is chosen.

       -a userid
	      Userid to use for authentication; defaults to the current user.  This is the userid whose password or credentials will be  presented
	      to the server for verification.

       -u userid
	      Userid  to use for authorization; defaults to the current user.  This is the userid whose identity will be assumed after authentica-
	      tion.  NOTE: This is only used with SASL mechanisms that allow proxying (e.g. PLAIN, DIGEST-MD5).

       -k num Minimum protection layer required.

       -l num Maximum protection layer to use (0=none; 1=integrity; etc).  For example if you are using the KERBEROS_V4  authentication  mechanism
	      specifying 0 will force sivtest to not use any layer and specifying 1 will force it to use the integrity layer.  By default the max-
	      imum supported protection layer will be used.

       -r realm
	      Specify the realm to use. Certain authentication mechanisms (e.g. DIGEST-MD5) may require one to specify the realm.

       -f file
	      Pipe file into connection after authentication.

       -n num Number of authentication attempts; default = 1.  The client will attempt to do  SSL/TLS  session	reuse  and/or  fast  reauth  (e.g.
	      DIGEST-MD5), if possible.

       -c     Enable  challenge  prompt  callbacks.   This will cause the OTP mechanism to ask for the the one-time password instead of the secret
	      pass-phrase (library generates the correct response).

       -i     Don't send an initial client response for SASL mechanisms, even if the protocol supports it.

       -o option=value
	      Set the SASL option to value.

       -v     Verbose. Print out more information than usual.
