Or stated more accurately . . .
When user BOB or TED or CAROL or ALICE edits IBM i records via our web
portal, can I easily prove who the user is?

Our portal application, written in PHP, is hosted on a Windows server,
and runs Apache.

The portal connects to our IBM i with QRWTSRVR jobs active in QUSRWRK
subsystem, and runs under user profile APACHE which I created
specifically for connections from that web server.
Is there a simple configuration so that:
1. when user BOB logs into our web portal, he runs a QRWTSRVR job under
profile BOB

-snip-

That functionality would enable all data edits to be audited under each
user's profile (BOB, TED, CAROL, ALICE) instead of the connection
profile APACHE.

How does Bob authenticate to the portal? This is important, because if
the portal calls a service on the IBM side of the house to authenticate,
you could pass a token back and forth which you could then use to do a
profile swap on additional server requests.
