NAME

mupdatetest - interactive MUPDATE test program

SYNOPSIS

mupdatetest [ -p port ] [ -m mechanism ]
[ -u user ] [ -a user ] [ -k num ] [ -l num ]
[ -r realm ] [ -f file ] [ -n num ] [ -c ]
[ -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 -m mechanism		Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to mupdate as defined in /etc/services. Force mupdatetest to use mechanism for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism supported by the server is chosen.
-u user -a user -k num -l num		Username to use for authentication; defaults to the current user. Authname to use for authentication; defaults to the current user. Minimum protection layer required. 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 maxi- mum 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 -n num		Pipe file into connection after authentication. 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).
-v		Verbose. Print out more information than usual.
