RE: Websphere authenticating to a remote as/400 and Envoy

I see. So, just so I completely clear, they are not authenticating against
400 profiles, they are using bsd user accounts, in the case of the one
running FreeBSD? That makes sense. I was wondering how one would get past
this limitation.

Todd, as far as I know a web application server will only authenticate
against the box it is running on.  We've got two other PSC/400
installations doing just that: one is running Tomcat on a FreeBSD
machine, while ITT Aerospace is running WebSphere on one iSeries and the
applications on another.
