NAME

       sivtest - interactive MANAGESIEVE test program

SYNOPSIS

       sivtest [ -t keyfile ] [ -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

       sivtest  is  a  utility  that  allows you to authenticate to a MANAGESIEVE server and interactively issue
       commands to it. Once authenticated you may issue any MANAGESIEVE 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 timsieved server. Also those developing  MANAGESIEVE
       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 sieve as defined in /etc/services.

       -m mechanism
              Force sivtest 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 sivtest 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.
