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

Thanks Matt

I am using the original HTTP server on this V5R1 box because I have read
several well known published experts say that this is best on V5R1 and
Apache should be left for V5R2 or for V5R3 when there is no choice. I do
use it on a V5R3 box but, since I rarely need to change the configuration, I
am even less skilled on that than on the Original server.

I tried putting in a Protect statement but without success. I did restart
the server.

I already had a protection directive - please could you tell me what the
protec tstatement should say and where it should go?

Many thanks

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.

Matt

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
