Command specific
options : -------------------------------------
-x auth_info auth_info specifies additional conditions for the "auth lookup" " and " "auth test" commands. 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
user The
user \(aqs login name.
Depending on the configuration, the login name may be for example
jane " or " john@example.com . -------------------------------------
password Optionally the user\(aqs password.
doveadm (1) will prompt for the password, if none was given.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flush the authentication cache. By default the cache is flushed for all the users (which can also be done by sending SIGHUP to the auth process). You can also flush the cache for one or more users by providing their usernames.
-a master_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
@rundir@/auth-master . The socket may be located in another directory, when the default
base_dir setting was overridden in
@pkgsysconfdir@/dovecot.conf . -------------------------------------
Similar to doveadm-user (1) command, except it performs a passdb lookup (without authentication) instead of a userdb lookup.
-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
@rundir@/auth-userdb . The socket may be located in another directory, when the default
base_dir setting was overridden in
@pkgsysconfdir@/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.
-------------------------------------
Test authentication for the given user.
-------------------------------------
-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
@rundir@/auth-client . The socket may be located in another directory, when the default
base_dir setting was overridden in
@pkgsysconfdir@/dovecot.conf .
