COMMAND
checkpassword
DESCRIPTION
The checkpassword command displays authentication and authorization details using LDAP.
This command is used to display the details of how the system authenticates a user and
determines a user's privilege level. Given the number of parameters that can be set with the
setauthparam command and the various ways authentication might fail from incorrectly set
parameters, the
checkpassword command is valuable for debugging authentication failures.

SPECIFIER
<user>
If the <user> parameter is not specified, then the current user is used.
RESTRICTIONS
Only those users with Super privileges can specify <user> names other than their own.
