DOVEADM-USER(1)			    Dovecot		       DOVEADM-USER(1)

NAME
       doveadm-user - Perform a user lookup in Dovecot's userdbs

SYNOPSIS
       doveadm	[-Dv]  user  [-a userdb_socket_path] [-f field] [-x auth_info]
       user ...

DESCRIPTION
       The user command is used to perform a user lookup - to show what infor‐
       mation  Dovecot	sees  about the user(s), or if it exists at all in the
       configured userdb(s).

       The auth_info may be useful when the userdb is for example a SQL	 data‐
       base  and  you  are  using %variables, like %s or %l, in the user_query
       setting.	 Or when you have configured the userdb in a way like this:

       userdb {
	 driver = passwd-file
	 args = /etc/%s.passwd
       }

OPTIONS
       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

       Command specific options:

       -a userdb_socket_path
	      This option is used to specify an absolute path to  an  alterna‐
	      tive UNIX domain socket.

	      By   default  doveadm(1)	will  use  the	socket	/var/run/dove‐
	      cot/auth-userdb.	The socket may be located  in  another	direc‐
	      tory,  when  the	default	 base_dir  setting  was	 overridden in
	      /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.

       -f field
	      When this option and the	name  of  a  userdb  field  is	given,
	      doveadm(1) will show only the value of the specified field.

       -x auth_info
	      auth_info	 specifies additional conditions for the user command.
	      The auth_info option string has to be given as name=value	 pair.
	      For multiple conditions the -x option could be supplied multiple
	      times.
	      Possible names for the auth_info are:

	      service
		     The service for which the userdb lookup should be tested.
		     The  value	 may  be  the name of a service, commonly used
		     with Dovecot.  For example: imap, pop3 or smtp.

	      lip    The local IP address (server) for the test.

	      rip    The remote IP address (client) for the test.

	      lport  The local port, e.g. 143

	      rport  The remote port, e.g. 24567

ARGUMENTS
       user   Is a user's login name.  Depending on the configuration, a login
	      name  may	 be  for  example jane or john@example.com.  It's also
	      possible to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).

EXAMPLE
       Perform a user lookup for the users jane and john@example.com.

       doveadm user jane john@example.com
       userdb: jane
	 uid	   : 8001
	 gid	   : 8001
	 home	   : /home/jane
	 mail	   : sdbox:~/sdbox
	 plugins   : sieve
	 quota_rule: *:storage=150M

       userdb: john@example.com
	 home	   : /srv/mail/8/70312/79832
	 uid	   : 79832
	 gid	   : 70312
	 mail	   : mdbox:~/mdbox

       The next example shows a user lookup, using wildcards.

       doveadm user *.?oe@example.net
       jane.doe@example.net
       judy.roe@example.net
       john.doe@example.net
