You could also do an AL on Window Open of your user's main forms to prevent them from using the Mid-Tier
AL: PreventMid-Tier Execute on: Window Open Run IF: ($CLIENT-TYPE$ = 9) and (NOT ($GROUPS$ LIKE "%Administrator%" )) Action: Run Process PERFORM-ACTION-EXIT-APP Since a Web Service does not do a Window Open Active Link this would not interfere with using Mid-Tier for Web Services. I add the GROUPS Administrator clause to the Run-IF so an Admin can still use the Mid-Tier Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nall, Roger Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 9:09 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Web Service Newbie At this point yes. We have never used the Mid Tier for reasons I would rather not say. That is going to have change by the end of this year but I would prefer to have a proper rollout of the new process. In the mean time if I could use the Mid Tier for the web service functionality to this new application it would make matters easier. I am thinking that as long as I don't let anyone know that the Mid Tier is available then no one will know how to access it. Roger A.

There are very few exceptions to that general rule. The only way that I could think of to try to prevent your users from being able to use the Mid-tier would be to try to use the ar.conf setting "Disable-Client-Operation" to restrict the use of the Mid-Tier. However that might also prevent inbound WebService calls too. (I am just not sure if it would or not.) You might also try to mangle the Mid-Tier install and remove a few files/configurations of the java Web application to try to prevent users from being able to login via the Mid-tier application. But I also have no idea if that would prevent Web Service Clients from connecting to the Mid-Tier either. Would it be a concern if users were able to use the Mid-tier? -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
