Summary
Adds an occ command for checking the password for the given user ID. The user can provide the password literally in the CLI arguments (less secure but other applications don't prevent this), using
OC_PASS
, through stdin or interactively.I have a small self-contained application that needs to authenticate users. Rather than maintain a separate set of credentials, or set up something like LDAP (would be overkill), adding a command like this seems the best way to achieve what I needed - the application is server-side and can then look up the user and password, and the exit status is used to determine if the user was authenticated or not.
Uploading so that the community can benefit from contributions, but please do feel free to pull into a feature branch and rework or modify heavily and use as a springboard. This solved a particular usecase I had so figured may be useful.
