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

Matt

You must think me very rude not to have replied to you before but somehow I
missed your kind post. As I still have not solved the problem, I was
researching today and so came across your reply.

Of course I tried your suggestion at once,

my code is

Protection TestProt {
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
Authtype Basic
ACLOverride Off
PostMask All
GetMask All
ServerID www.erros.co.uk
Userid %%CLIENT%%
}
Protect /cgi-bin/stipple/* TestProt
CGIMode %%EBCDIC%%
PersistentCGITimeout 60 minutes
MaxPersistentCGITimeout 60 minutes
Exec /cgi-bin/hello /QSYS.LIB/E280CGIOBJ.LIB/hello
Exec /cgi-bin/stipple /QSYS.LIB/E290PRDOBJ.LIB/e29
Exec /cgi-bin/e29rpp/* /QSYS.LIB/E290PRDOBJ.LIB/E29RPP.PGM

I have restarted the server but still no luck

Does your memory go back far enough to suggest what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks

I had a minute to look at an old config and here is an example that should
work:

Protection TESTPROT {
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
ACLOverride Off
PostMask All
GetMask All
AuthType BASIC
ServerID some_name
UserID %%CLIENT%%
}

Protect /cgi-bin/stipple/* TESTPROT

Note that I have no way to test this.

I saw it only again recently but I am not sure where. I thought that it
was
on one of the sites I have been using to learn CGIDEV2 but I have looked at
the pages I have book marked recently, from Search400 and Easy400, and I
cannot find it. I didn't dream it up. If I come across it again, I will
let you know.

I had already tried the InfoCenter but can't find the answer. I need to
find a site with lots of configuration examples rather than simply the
syntax.

Many thanks

Rob,

Where did you find it published that the Apache version isn't the best
for
V5R1 (it does stink on V4R5)? I ran it there for several years without
problems. In fact, it made my life much, much easier since virtual hosts
were easier to maintain.

As far as configuring the Original server goes, I don't think I have any
of
those configurations around any more. I know that I learned how to set
all
of that up using the documentation from the InfoCenter. It may be worth a
look there.

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

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
