RE: web application validate users against iSeries

If you use Basic Authentication, it's pretty easy. This would be just like
the popup that is displayed when you go into the web admin on the iSeries.

First, create a file named securep.inc and place it in the same directory as
your config file. It should contain:

AuthName yoursystemname
AuthType Basic
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
<Limit GET POST>
Require valid-user
</Limit>

Then in your config, set it up so paths are protected:

<Location /secure/>
Include conf/v3.1/SECUREP.inc
</Location>

<Location /cgi-secure/>
Include conf/v3.1/SECUREP.inc
</Location>

This will secure both a path named "/secure" which could contain documents
you'd like to protect as well as a path named "/cgi-secure" which could
contain web apps you'd like to protect. Notice, because these are location
containers they are logical paths (most often mapped to something else).

Subject: web application validate users against iSeries


I have a need to have a web application to validate users from
the iSeries. Has anyone attempted this if so how?

Example: Web application requires a sign on. All of the users
have profiles on the iSeries. Therefore we would like to have
them use their iSeries profiles to validate against the iSeries.
Eliminating the need to keep a DB with users in it, that the web
application validates against.

We have two web applications one will not need to access any data
from the iSeries, the other will.
