NAME

       mupdatetest - interactive MUPDATE test program

SYNOPSIS

       mupdatetest [ -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

       mupdatetest  is  a utility that allows you to authenticate to a MUPDATE
       server and interactively issue commands to it. Once  authenticated  you
       may  issue any MUPDATE 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 mupdate  server.  Note  that  you  must  be  an  admin  in  order  to
       authenticate to an mupdate server.

OPTIONS

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

       -m mechanism
              Force mupdatetest 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
              authentication.  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 mupdatetest to not use any
              layer and specifying 1 will force it to use the integrity layer.
              By  default the maximum 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 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.
