The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

You can license our web portal. Another alternative that I can think of may
be based on OA. Vendors generally implement a JavaScript application that
is functionally comparable to a 5250 emulator. That client communicates
with an OA server that is generally implemented within a persistent CGI
process. I suspect those servers only authenticate once (at the server's
entry point), then rely on the persistent connection after that.
I'm not aware of any other options on any platform, IBM i or otherwise. I
think the common practice is to check the credentials of the user and check
user authority for every resource requested, because the interfaces are
stateless. Developers either rely on an HTTP server for that. Or they add a
call within every application to a routine that authenticates the user and
checks their authority.
