The Verify NetWare Authentication Entry (VFYNTWAUTE) command verifies the authentication entry for a server. The user name, password, and other data, are sent to the server, where they are used to sign on to the server. This command could be used, for example, to verify that the password is correct before submitting a batch job that uses the server. Use the Work with NetWare Authentication Entries (WRKNTWAUTE) command to view the server authentication entries in a user profile.

Note: This command cannot be used for entries that specify PASSWORD(*STRNTWCNN).
