Chris,
This is true, you do a lot of bundled software, but do end users really
need that? It seems as though you could really keep your costs down by
using the web app model if you have hundreds or thousands of users on a
box. The only thing I know of that would hurt this is the ability of the
WAS server to handle the save amount of users as 5250 on the same sized
box. If you are forced to upgrade the hardware level it wouldn't save you
anything in the end. So I'm guessing there is a limitation of how much
you could take advantage of it anyway.
Thanks

So if you have a web application, and you only have the web app connect
to
the DB with a generic username you can avoid having lots of concurrent
users.
Yes, that's my understanding. That's pretty common for Web applications
to
connect to QZDASOINIT and QSQSRVR jobs under a generic user profile, for
example.
You can just create your own database to do user authentication to
your app.
That works.
I wonder if they have some sort of TOS to cover this kind of
loophole (unless I misunderstood, and you can't do what I proposed).
It's not a loophole. An application loses a lot of functionality when IBM
i
servers are running under generic profiles. Consider all you lose. You
also
lose a license to a long list of client software that is bundled with IBM
i.
