---

SYNOPSISdoveadm [−Dv] auth [−a auth_socket_path] [−x auth_info] user [password]

---

DESCRIPTIONThe auth command can be used to test the authentication for the given user.

---

OPTIONSGlobal doveadm(1) options: −D  Enables verbosity and debug messages. −v  Enables verbosity, including progress counter. Command specific options: −a auth_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−client. The socket may be located in another directory, when the default base_dir setting was overridden in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. −x auth_info  auth_info specifies additional conditions for the auth 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 authentication lookup should be tested. The value may be the name of a service, commonly used with Dovecot. 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  The user's login name. Depending on the configuration, the login name may be for example jane or john@example.com. password  Optionally the user's password. doveadm(1) will prompt for the password, if none was given.

---

EXAMPLEThis example demonstrates an imap authentication test for user john, assuming the user is connected from the host with the IP address 192.0.2.143. doveadm auth −x service=imap −x rip=192.0.2.143 john johns_password passdb: john auth succeeded extra fields: user=john
