I've been tinkering with CGIDEV2. We use Brad Stone's SPLTOOL to generate
PDFs from spooled files to the IFS. Then we email links to these PDFs to
various users. Saves bandwidth. The problem is when our operator runs the
programs that create the spooled file and henceforth create the PDF, the
IFS file retains the authority of her user profile. Then she needs to
manually go in and grant the proper authorities.

So, I've decided to try to give her a nice web interface to either view or
change the authorities. It's a worthwhile free time project and it helps me
get my feet wet using CGIDEV2. My problem is that the user profile QTMHHTTP
is the one trying to view/change the files and the CGI, or a simple
hiperlink is failing. Is there a way to have the user profile of the one
utilizing the web interface to carry through to either opening a file or
calling a CGI program?

I hope this isn't too vague.

Thanks,

Mark
