Your for loop is looking for $List, where's $List? Don't you mean $LIST_USERS?

but again i'm curious why your password variable is equal to your user variable. Do your users have the same pass as their username? also, string comparisons are done with one equals sign [ $PASSWORD = $i ]

Code:
 #!/bin/sh
/bin/clear
echo "What's your user name?"
 read usrName
usrPass=""
case $usrName in
         user1) usrPass="pass1"
         break
;;
         user2) usrPass="pass2"
         break
;;
         user3) usrPass="pass3"
         break
;;
         *) echo "Invalid username"
         exit 1
;;
esac
echo "What's your password?"
read usrPwdin
[ $usrPass != $usrPwdin ] && echo "Incorrect password" && exit 1
echo "Password accepted"
# do stuff here...

I'm still learning myself, but I whipped this up for you. Maybe it can help...

       [--terse=false] [--echo=false] [--interactive=true] [--authrealmname auth_realm_name]

DESCRIPTION

       Lists all the file users. If the auth_realm_name is not specified, an entry is created in the default keyfile. If auth_realm_name is speci-
       fied,  an  entry  is  created in the keyfile where the auth-realm name in the domain.xml file points to.This command is supported in remote
       mode only.

OPTIONS

       --user		       authorized domain application server administrative username.

       --password	       password to administer the domain application server.

       --host		       machine name where the domain application server is running.

       --port		       port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests.

       --secure 	       if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

       --passwordfile	       file containing the domain application server password.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

       --interactive	       if set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

       --authrealmname	       name, in the domain.xml file,  where you have different stores for file auth realm.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using the list-file-users command

       asadmin> list-file-users --user admin1 --password adminadmin1
       --host pigeon --port 5001 --authrealmname auth-realm1
       Command list-file-user executed successfully
