Hi Don,

You may want to have a look at one of Scott's presentations:
https://www.scottklement.com/presentations/#RESTAPIRPG
In the last section a basic configuration for using IBMi
authentication is given.
As Jack recommended, make sure to use at least SSL, because with basic
authentication the password is not encrypted, only encoded.

Regards,
Arco

Thanks Jack,

I went through the links provided and while relevant for web
page/directory access I was unable to understand how this would apply to a
web service on IBMi using the IWS server.

As I have minimal knowledge in this area I may be mis understanding
implementing authority for a web service in the apache directives.

Maybe someone has a more IBMi specific reference or example.

Also while I would be thrilled to attend your session at PowerUp the
travel cost and current exchange rate from Oz to US has put this out of
my reach - Maybe you can share your presentation :-)

Thanks

Don
