Re: QSYGETPH to validate user/pass

still no luck... here is what I'm getting now... (g_pass is 128 - which is
allowed on this i)...

d qsygetph pr extpgm('QSYGETPH')
d userId like(g_user) const
d passWord like(g_pass) const
d handle like(l_handle)
d errorCode 32766 options(*varsize)
d passLength like(l_passLength)
d ccsid like(l_ccsid)

d dsEC ds
d dsECBytesP 1 4b 0 inz(128)
d dsECBytesA 5 8b 0 inz(0)
d dsECMsgID 9 15
d dsECReserv 16 16
d dsECMsgDta 17 256

d l_handle s 12 inz
d l_passLength s 10i 0 inz
d l_ccsid s 10i 0 inz

// validate user/pass...
l_handle = ' ';
l_passLength = %len(%trim(g_pass));
l_ccsid = 37;
clear dsEC;
dsECBytesP = %len(%trim(g_pass));
qsygetph(g_user
:g_pass
:l_handle
:dsEC
:l_passLength
:l_ccsid);
if dsECBytesA > 0;
p_errMsg = 'User/Pass Not Valid';
return *on;
endif;

this really should not be this tough to validate a system user/pass... :)

any ideas?

Sorry to ask this question here but I'm not sure how to reach out to Scott
to ask... When I try to access Scott Klement's website I get blocked and
according to our network admin, sites from Russia are blocked.


Can someone confirm if this is the case?


Scott's site is a valuable resource but I'm out of luck and will have to
use it outside my office's network.


Thanks

Your dsec data structure looks to be missing a line. I think Scott's
standard one is this.

D dsECBytesP 1 4I 0 INZ(256)


Whats in dsECMsgDta after you get the 28 bytes back
