Re: IBM i 7.6 Development tools

The only issues I've ever had with running web servers on the IBM i is
people trying to run multiple SQL injection requests and because my new dev
partition is in the cloud and pretty small, I notice it right away and my
monitoring software alerts me CPU is maxed out pretty quickly. So I write
down the IP addresses, report them, try to log into any of them (a lot of
time SSH is open on them) and restart and we're good.

Yes, I see them in my log. And yes, I know it's someone trying to
sabotage me personally. Been happening for years. I even had fake reviews
of my books on Amazon by someone who claimed to be "Al Barsa". lol.

I believe that separate the web server from the IBM i makes it easier for
the hackers to cause trouble.
If the web server gets compromised it becomes an easy path to the IBM i,
while the Apache running in the i is very hard to break.

That is true, Raul Alberto. PHP is also a tried-and-true choice for
writing web applications directly on the IBM i.

These days, I like to separate the web server from the i, for security
reasons.

It is easier to program directly for the web rather than doing the APIs
