Examples

The following example shows that no login and no authentication are being performed:
```
c:\> pdadmin

context show
```
The output is like:
```

```
The following example shows local authentication before the context show command is issued:
```
c:\> pdadmin -l
pdadmin local> context show
```
The output is like:
```
The user is logged in to the local system
```
The following example shows local authentication, like the previous example, except the command in issued interactively:
```
pdadmin sec_master> login -l

pdadmin local> context show
```
The output is like:
```
The user is logged in to the local system
```
The following example shows authentication context information for a user who is logged in to the management domain (non-local authentication).
```
c:\> pdadmin -a sec_master -p mypwd -m

pdadmin sec_master> context show
```
The output is like:
```
User: sec_master
Domain: Default
The user is logged into the management domain
```

The following example shows authentication context information for the testdomain_admin administrator who logs in interactively to a domain (testdomain) other than the management domain:

pdadmin> login -a testdomain_admin -p testpwd -d testdomain 

pdadmin testdomain_admin@testdomain_admin> context show

The output is like:
