Re: Running a website on the i

From: Alan Campin
If someone gets into your web server on a stand alone box they only
have access to the box but if it is running on your i, they have access
to all your business information or am I missing something?

Yes, you're missing a lot. Users only gain access to what you explicitly configure for them under the Apache based server. Otherwise they gain access to nothing but a socket connection to the HTTP server port. The whole topic of security is really broad, but I'd suggest that most sites would be more secure under IBM i, than any other platform.
