Re: User licensing for web access

The web server (apache) allows you to have parts that are "public" (do
not require any authentication), parts that use your authentication
method, and parts that use the IBM i credentials.  Depending on the
function you can put your pages and forms in any of the parts.

By not using IBM i credentials, you're admittedly giving up a lot of IBM i
functionality. Many commands prompt for user in their parameters, or
display user in their listings, allow users to "own" objects, allow IBM i
to authenticate users and groups against object authorities, etc. Many
system APIs provide a parameter for User ID.

User-based licensing gives people a license to products like ACS, and
Navigator, and other interfaces that require it.
