Re: Check user password API?

Mike,

you could build a wrapper RPG program around the CHKPWD command...

All,
 
I would like to check an iSeries username and password using application
security on the web.  I thought there was an API where I could pass the
username and password and the return would be true or false.  When I was
thinking about this initially, I was considering the API's QSYRUPWD
(Retrieve Encrypted User Password) and QSYSUPWD (Set Encrypted User
Password).  After reading these API's it is quite apparent that they are
intended for comparison of system to system, not for validating a user
login.
 
What I would like to accomplish is to have an RPG program where I can
pass the username and password and validate against the iSeries
username/password. 
 
Anyone have any ideas/examples?
 
Thanks
 
Mike
