kinit

Our backend for passwords is kerberos. It has a command called kinit that you use to login as a specific kerberos user (“get a ticket”). This has the nice side effect of letting you test username/passwords.

successful

kinit test Password for test@CUSTOMERS.PARTNERSOFT.COM: test

Note: no response in unix generally means it worked.

bad account name

kinit testy kinit: Client not found in Kerberos database while getting initial credentials

It immediately fails and doesn’t even ask for a password.

bad password

kinit test Password for test@CUSTOMERS.PARTNERSOFT.COM: fart
