Re: Switching Profiles

After some research, I've determined that the problem is happening when I
try to switch the profile back. I watch the service program in debug, the
error DS is empty. The profile does indeed switch back, but the next call
to a CGI program ends the CGI job. Nothing in the job log. It states that
the job completed normally. I'm generating a new profile token from the
user profile in positions 254 to 263 of the status data structure. It would
be QTMHHTTP in this case. Any ideas?

The proper way to do this is to get the current profile handle before you change anything. Store this in a variable. Get the new user handle and swap. When done swap back using the saved handle you got previously.

The same process applies when using profile tokens.

You are likely running into authority problems where the new user (under whose authority the job is now running) is not authorised to the original profile.

As to why the CGI job dies I don't know but may be due to invalidating handles or tokens etc. due to authority problems.
