In our CGIDEV2 setup we use validation lists to authenticate our web users.  
Obviously all jobs run on the system as user QTMHHTTP.  We pass the user's 
validation list ID along to the programs so that in our files where we keep 
"who updeated this record" fields, the users validation list name is used 
rather than the actual system user name of QTMHHTTP.

For security reasons we now have an application we need to write that must keep 
audit trail data in a very secure manner.  We want to use the system journals 
to track who did what. But we still want to use CGI and a web based front end.

How can we still use CGI but have the jobs run as the actual user rather than 
QTMHHTTP so the journals are correct?  Do we need to change the authentication 
to go by actual AS400 user ids instead of a validation list and then change the 
apache set up somehow so the jobs run as the AS400 user id who logs into basic 
authentication?

Am I on the right track?

Thanks for any input,

Larry
