dbconn.conn() Fails when Credentials Are Passed (ABI v48 Node 6)

[David Russo]

Using idb-connector 1.1.6 with Node 6, the following code fails:

const db2i = require("idb-connector");
const dbconn = new db2i.dbconn();
dbconn.conn("*LOCAL", "myusrprf", "mypass");

It throws with authorization failure, even with correct credentials. This problem seems similar to one that I reported before for Node 8:

It seems that the problem was fixed for Node 8 and Node 10 builds, but not for Node 6.

This issue is introduced by the N-API versions (1.1.0+). The NAPI string seems to be incompatibility with DB2 CLI.

I have upgraded idb-connector to v1.1.7 to fix the issue.

v1.1.7 resolves the problem.
