Re: HTTP Sign-On API

What I think you are refering to is 'Protection' for HTTP which will force
someone to 'signon' before they can continue to other portions of a web
site.

Protection is defined in the instance definitions of your HTTP server
(CFGTCPHTTP option 2). It can be coded in manually, or through the *admin
portion of the HTTP server (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2001) or with the new HTTP
wizard that IBM offers.

Basically you define a group of options for your 'protection' and then tell
the instance what you want to portect, ie directories (mapped or actual), or
programs.

The code in the instance looks something like this for using a validation
list

Protection MYPROTECT {
    AuthType BASIC
    ServerID MYAS400
    PasswdFile QGPL/MYPASSWD
    GetMask All
    PostMask All
}

Protect /cgi-bin/* MYPROTECT

or like this to use the as/400 userid and password
Protection MYPROTECT {
    AuthType BASIC
    ServerID MYAS400
    PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
    UserID     %%CLIENT%%
    GetMask All
    PostMask All
}

Protect /cgi-bin/* MYPROTECT

I hope this is what you are looking for. Bob Canicall's site is a good
resource for this stuff. ignite400.org Brad's site netshare400.com has a
good but underused forum as well.
