# IBM i Password Verifier (ibmi-pw)

Simple IBM i Password Validation module for npm. Can be used to check whether a provided user name (IBM i user profile)

and password are valid. 

**This module only works on IBM i!**

This module verifies that the user ID and password are correct. If the password is not correct, the incorrect password

count is increased. (The QMAXSIGN system value contains the maximum number of incorrect attempts to sign on.) If the

QMAXSGNACN system value is set to disable the user profile, repeated attempts to validate an incorrect password disable

the user ID. This keeps applications from methodically determining user passwords.

# Installation (works for IBM i only)

```

npm install ibmi-pw

```

# Usage

```javascript

var validator = require('ibmi-pw')

console.log("Is password valid? "+ validator.verifyIbmiPw("usrprf","mypassword"));

```
