Re: Obtaining IP address of client using CGIDEV2

The application we are developing is a timeclock application where the user
will click on an URL then swipe their ID badge into the application.  We
have 2000 employees and there will be 50 swipe PCs in different locations
and the idea is we want to know which PC the employee swiped at.  Using a
user profile isn't feasable because each location would in theory need it's
own profile and even if we did teach all 2000 employees how to 'sign-on'
there still would be nothing to stop them from using a different user
profile from any of the 50 PCs.

What about just securing the application with either the iSeries user
profile or a validation list?

Then you could retrieve the REMOTE_USER just like you retrieve REMOTE_ADDR.

When you want to go that way, check out the "protect" directive in the
http-config.
