To Execute am_auth_test

The sample program am_auth_test authenticates to the specified organization using the specified authentication module. You must have an Access Manager server with a user profile set up with the corresponding authentication module before running this program.

To execute am_auth_test, run the following command:

am_auth_test [-u user ] [-p password] [-f properties_file] [-r url ] [-n cert_nick_name] [-o org_name] [-m auth_module ]

The following variables are used:

user

Specify the Access Manager user name.

password

Specify the Access Manager user's password.

properties_file

Specify the complete path of the AMAgent.properties file.

url

(Optional) Specify the authentication login URL.

cert_nick_name

(Optional) Specify the certificate nickname.

org_name

Specify the default organization name.

auth_module

Specify the authentication module type. The default is LDAP.

If no options are supplied on the command line, login uses the org_name specified in the properties file and auth_module LDAP. The user can specify the org_name on the command line to override the value specified in the properties file. Example: dc=iplanet,dc=com . In either case, the user is prompted for User Name and Password.

For certificate—based login, the user specifies auth_module Cert on the command line. The user can specify the cert_nick_name on the command line to override the value specified in the properties files. Other values affecting certificate-based login are taken from the properties file. The default properties file is ../../config/AMAgent.properties. Check to be sure the appropriate properties and values are set in the properties file before calling this program. The following properties are specific to authentication:

• com.sun.am.auth.orgName

• com.sun.am.auth.certificateAlias
