RE: HTTP Directory Signon

Hi Michael are you saying you want to authenticate the directory on the
webserver. If so what release of OS/400 are you at because at V430 the
security is very good and you have a lot of options even if the docs are not
so great. The quickest way is to use a single validation list and then just
secure the path against that list adding those users who need access into
it. Things can get more complicated if you want and you can start using
group files and access control lists, to secure different areas with
different security levels.

At IGNITe/400 http://www.ignite400.org there is some code from Matt Haas
which allows you to automate the whole process rather than using the admin
server. Like I say there are lots of options and it can appear very
complicated if you try to read the manual!!

Thanks

Hi folks,

        Does anyone know how to setup a signon when requesting a directory list
through the as/400 web server?

        Thanks in Advance
