Authenticate users using i5/OS (AS400) credentials

The folks at IBM have a nice API to use i5/OS (AS400) stuff from Java code. Check it out at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/toolbox/index.html.
What I particularly find very useful and have used often is to validate user names and passwords with the AS400 authentication services. The following code validates a userName and password.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | import com.ibm.as400.access.AS400; import com.ibm.as400.access.AS400SecurityException; ... String ip = "192.168.0.32"; // Place your AS400 IP address here String userName = "john"; // User name String password = "private"; // Password AS400 system = new AS400(ip, userName, password); if (system.validateSignon()){ result = AUTH_OK; } ... |
Nice and easy, eh?
