Thanks for the clarifications. I will look into Basic Authentication
using Zend Core for i5 when I have a chance.

Be aware that Basic Authentication does not encrypt the UID/PWD it merely encodes it. Anyone who can intercept an encoded data stream can recover the UID/PWD.

You might want to investigate client authentication via Validation Lists which at least won't compromise OS/400 *USRPRF objects--as long as you use different "web" UID/PWD values.

Note that using https: connectivity will protect encoded basic authentication so that may be something else to consider.
