The FIM password authentication process can be verified by passing the username and password directly to the ingvalidacctkn script. On Unix or Linux perform this task as an example:

echo "username password" | ingvalidacctkn
echo $?

When $? shows 0, the username password combination is accepted. A value other than 0 signifies that the authentication failed. A combination of username and token can be verified similarly. In case of providing a token, it should have access_token= pre-pended.

echo "username access_token=token" | ingvalidacctkn
echo $?

You can trace the authentication by setting environment variables II_FIM_LOG to specify the full path to a trace file and II_FIM_TRACE to specify the trace level. The level can be set to 1 (warning), 2 (info) or 3 (debug). With level 3, the most detailed information is logged into the file.

ingsetenv II_FIM_LOG /tmp/fim.log

ingsetenv II_FIM_TRACE 2
