DESCRIPTION
lmtptest is a utility that allows you to
authenticate to a LMTP server and interactively issue commands to
it. Once authenticated you may issue any LMTP 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 lmtp server.
Also those developing LMTP 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 lmtp as
defined in /etc/services.
- -m mechanism
- Force lmtptest 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
lmtptest 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 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.
