Re: Using UserID and Pawword with HTTP server (V5R1 original)

Rob,

First off, why are you still using the Original server? The Apache based one is much, much better.

To answer your question, you are missing the Protect statement.

Subject: [WEB400] Using UserID and Pawword with HTTP server (V5R1 original)

I have got to the stage with my CGIDEV2 development where I now want to work
using User IDs. According to the manual, including

Protection /cgi-bin/stipple/* {
Authtype Basic
Userid %%CLIENT%%
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
}

in my HTTPCFG file should do the trick but nothing happens. I have put
this ahead of my Exec statement which reads

Map /cgi-bin/stipple/* /QSYSLIB.LIB/E290PRDOBJ.LIB/E290G00000.PGM

This exec statement works fine.

I wish to use standard User profiles rather than a password file.

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks

Rob Dixon
