Re: web app security - user profile or validation list?

Later in the process, when you want PHP to "connect" to the database server

(i.e. QZDASOINIT or QSQSRVR Job), you have to provide different credentials
for that. It sounds like you want to authenticate using an IBM i user
profile for that, in order to take advantage of IBM i interfaces for
specifying data object authorities.

yes, but as I understand it, to switch from validation list user to an IBM
i user profile user, you need the password of the IBM i user.

Would help if the validation list allowed a built in link to an associated
user profile. What if the QSYGETPH accepted a validation list user name
and password as input arguments?
