The following shows how wbinfo is used to authenticate a domain user. Note the \\ between
domain name and user; these are required:
wbinfo --authenticate=snv-tac.local\\ddoyle%ddoyle
plaintext password authentication succeeded
challenge/response password authentication succeeded

less /var/log/samba/log.wb-SNV-TAC
