Re: PHP - authenticate and authorize using AS400 profile

For anyone looking to consolidate CGI and PHP into a single web server
using Zend Core, Scott Klement wrote a Kick-butt article on this topic.
Even if you are not interested in consolidating, this is a great read to
understand more about reverse proxy, et al.

And, as Jon alluded to, Zend Server for IBM i should have only one
Apache server making this stuff a who lot easier!

I can't recall any specific references, but I don't think it is a big
secret. Maybe it was in the Zend newsletter?

This has been a requirement since PHP first came out on the box. Once
Zend announced the new server it was a pretty good guess that that
would be the future of PHP on the i - since they would be implementing
the new server on the box it was again a good bet that they would try
to deal with that issue.

And indeed my understanding is that you will be able to run everything
through a single Apache instance.

Jon-
Now you've really sparked my curiosity. Any article or information
about
this anywhere? I am really interested in how this will be
implemented. I
hope you are implying that soon we'll be able have a single Apache
instance
running both CGIDEV2 and PHP applications. If that is the case,
this is
very exciting news.
