Not sure how you are getting this - i am using system authentication and all my jobs run under QTMHHTTP for user. As i understand it the authority of the requester is 'adopted'.

I think you are not sure to have all request run under the same job and will runinto problems if you use QTEMP objects-

Of course i do not use persistence - maybe that is the difference?

Subject: [Easy400Group] Understanding browser connections & server jobs

I have added authorisation directives to my Apache config, so that
the calling of CGI programs requires the entry of profile/password.

Since then I have noticed a change in the server jobs serving CGI
(PGM-QZSRCGI). Before the current user profile was QTMHHTP1 for these
jobs: this meant that when a user made a request, the server checked
to see if there was a job available. If so, it was used, if not it
spawned a new one. Hence the problems with persistence of
browser 'sessions' (never sure to pick up the same job and in the
same state).

Since the authorisation change, the server jobs have the current user
profile as the profiles of those users that have made requests.
That's perfectly understandable and means that the server job is now
using the authorisation of the user.

What I don't understand is the following

1)I launch the browser
2)Enter my profile & password
3)View page
4)Shut down browser

I see that I have a CGI server job with my user profile.

Now another user logs in, repeating the above process. It does not re-
use `my' server job but spawns another with their profile.

This implies a sort of `persistence' that I thought did not exist
with the browser. Each time that I re-log back in I am guaranteed to
get the same server job? This would have benefits in terms of library
list setting, creating objects in QTEMP for reuse etc.

And these jobs will remain active until the server is restarted then?

Any thoughts would be welcome!
