Okay, we have this part working. There are some Validation list stuff for
the JT400. I haven't found out where our programmer found it, but he did.

Now, for the next question. How can we bypass the AS400 login screen? We
would like to create our own log in screen and act as the AS400 sign in. We
know this can be done in plain text (very stupid idea). Is there any other
way in Java servlets (on an NT Tomcat box), like through a post? We are
using an Apache based instance on the 400.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mike,

Sounds ugly :-)  I don't think you can make the HTTP server handle the
requests, but you should be able to use API calls to the 400 via classes in
the AS/400 Java Tool kit to the VLDL API's.  You'll probably have to do
your own authentication within your application to pull this off.

But will this work off a NT Tomcat server? This is where the Java servlet
will be running.

Mike,

The base API's are appropriate for C or C++ and can be wrappered.  I'll see
if I can dig anything up on direct JAVA support.  BTW, I just got
authentication working in WebSphere and the Original HTTP server using HTTP
Basic Authentication.  We just specify the path of our primary
authenticated directory as part of the path for our Java applications.  We
had to define the path in our apps and to Websphere via the console (i.e.
/private/myapp)  where /private is an alias for an authenticated directory
in the HTTP server, and /myapp is the path to the Websphere Enterprise
application.

It worked remarkably well,  I was able to deduct 3 hours from my Java
consultants who are triaining our folks since they didn't know the trick.

Sorry for the little amount of detail, I guess I should read what I sent
before I sent it :-[. I want to know what Java API can be used to validate
users in a validation list. We have an application that does the
authentication, but we also want our custom program (which extents the
capability of the software) to do it's own verification. This customized
program resides on a NT server.

Mike,

What are you trying to do?  The answer is yes, I validate my customers
using validation lists and have for years, but can you be more specific?  I
use the Admin gui and just pick validation list to configure the server.
You can download some sample programs from IGNITe/400 to help you automate
the process of maintaining the VLDL's.

Is there a way to validate against a validation list, like there is for
AS400 profiles?

Thanks for any help

Mike
