Re: HTTP server for AS/400 *ADMIN

An internal error occurred in the configuration CGI program. The specific
error message is shown below:


IOSYSCFG special authority is required.

HHHHMMMMMMM... when I create a profile without IOSYSCFG and select
configuration and administration from the  Internet connection server from
the AS400 Tasks page, I get the above message.

What release are you running?
Are you at the current cume package for that release?
Did you authorize QTMHHTP1 to *IOSYSCFG? (that would be wrong.)
Did you change the QTMHHTTP profile? (that would be wrong.)

IBM says that you need the *IOSYSCFG special authority to perform
administration and configuration tasks on the HTTP server for AS400.  Well I
just noticed that any user that has a user profile on the AS400 is not only
able of logging onto the HTTP ADMIN server but can also change the settings,
regardless he has the *IOSYSCFG special authority.

Sinde we know that, we have closed the HTTP server, until we could find
what's wrong in our configuration or a way to block those users from
accessing the HTTP ADMIN server.
