AUTHTEST(1)						      Double Precision, Inc.						       AUTHTEST(1)

NAME

       authtest - Test the Courier Authentication Library

SYNOPSIS

       authtest {loginid} [password] [newpassword]

DESCRIPTION

       authtest is a command-line diagnostic utility for the Courier Authentication Library.  authtest requires at least one argument: loginid.
       authtest sends the authentication request to the Courier Authentication Library, then displays the results. Only root may use authtest
       utility, and the Courier Authentication Library daemon (authdaemond) must already be started.

       If only one argument is provided, the authentication request displays the account information for loginid, if found.

       If two arguments are provided, password must match loginid's existing password.

       If three arguments are provided, loginid's password is changed to newpassword, but only if password matches the existing psasword.

       These three basic authentication requests can be used to troubleshoot the authentication library's configuration.

NAME

       auth_passwd - Change account's password

SYNOPSIS

	   #include <courierauth.h>

       int rc=auth_passwd(const char *service, const char *username, const char *oldpassword, const char *newpassword);

DESCRIPTION

       If username's password is oldpassword, it is replaced with newpassword.	service identifies which so-called "service"'s password is
       changed; like "imap" or "pop3". Some Courier authentication library's back-end module can use different passwords for different services.
       service is ignored if this is not the case.

RETURNS

       auth_passwd returns 0 if the password was succesfully changed. A non-0 error code indicates a failure..
