Re: Using UserID and Pawword with HTTP server(V5R1original)

John

Many thanks for your help but unfortuntately I'm on V5R1 with HTTP original
server as I put in the subject. However, when I move over to my V5R3 box, I
am sure that your contribution will be most welcome.

I can't find an equivalent to "Require valid-user" in the original HTTP
server.

According to the manual "Entering %%CLIENT%% [for userID] causes the server
to challenge the client on each and every request for a
user ID and password."

many thanks

Sorry to jump in to this late, but on my production system (V5R3, Apache),
we have the following:

AuthName SOME_NAME
AuthType Basic
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
UserID %%SERVER%%
Require valid-user
# ACLOverride On

The "Require valid-user" isn't in the sample below.

The above is actually in a separate file called AUTH_USERS.inc which is
included in the main config via a "Include conf/AUTH_USERS.inc" line. That
line can be anywhere.

You can also protect just specific directories:
<Directory /some_dir>
Allow From all
Require valid-user
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
AuthType Basic
AuthName some_system_name
</Directory>

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.
