Node.js module for checking and changing Linux user and password
$ npm install passwd-linux* Check if user exist.
* Check if old password is correct.
* Change password if user exist but without verify the old password.
* Change password if user exist and old password is correct
Check if user exist
var passwd = require('passwd-linux');
passwd.checkUser('username', function (error, response) {
"use strict";
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(response); // if user exist 'response' will contain 'userExist'
}
});Change password if user exist but without verify the old password first
var passwd = require('passwd-linux');
passwd.changePassNV('username', 'password', function (error, response) {
"use strict";
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(response); // if password successfully changed 'response' will contain 'passChangeOK'
}
});Change password if user exist and old password is correct
var passwd = require('passwd-linux');
passwd.changePass('username', 'password', 'newpassword', function (error, response) {
"use strict";
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(response); // if password successfully changed 'response' will contain 'passChangeOK'
}
});Check if old password is correct
var passwd = require('passwd-linux');
passwd.checkPass('username', 'password', function (error, response) {
"use strict";
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(response); // response: passwordCorrect or passwordIncorrect
}
});Check if old password is correct (SHA512 only)
var passwd = require('passwd-linux');
passwd.checkPassSHA512('username', 'password', function (error, response) {
"use strict";
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(response); // response: passwordCorrect or passwordIncorrect
}
});Check if old password is correct (MD5 only)
var passwd = require('passwd-linux');
passwd.checkPassMD5('username', 'password', function (error, response) {
"use strict";
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log(response); // response: passwordCorrect or passwordIncorrect
}
