AIX authentication

[Guest_imported]

I am workin on a web site (mostly jsp). There is a page which requires authentication. What I would like to do is that when the user sends a 'username' and a 'password', it is checked in an op. sys. level, that is, if there is an account on the server with 'username'/'password' , than login is succesful, if not not.
Is there any tool on AIX which can does it ?

Like a program which excepts two parameters, name and password, and returns either true or false dependig if a login command would be succesfull with these params.

THANKS for any help,
Ipico

As for the password ? It is encrypted. You can't pass it. With the username, you can run the "lsuser" command.

Hi,

I have somrthing quite similar to that.
I am using a small C program to check if the user/password is correct.
I don't known if it is possible to do that in script.
