Portal Admin UI supports a feature to define a Valence Login - this means you do not require a valid IBM i profile.
We have a situation where we wish to allow a specific app to be available to several hundred users who do not have an IBM i Login. This can be achieved by using Valence Logins.
1. When an IBM i profile is specified, VVCALL will override the user replacing QTMHHTP1.
2. When a Valence profile is specified, VVCALL will NOT override the user (does not exist). Remains QTMHHTP1.
When the latter occurs, QTMHHTP1 is the user processing the request and object authority is limited to QTMHHTP1. Adopted authority does not take effect.
Our object authority is based on program Adopted Authority. This works perfectly when an IBM i profile is defined but ignored when using Valence profiles. In my test case, we were not authorised to write to a table.
Request. We require the Valence profile to behave as though it is as a valid IBM i User. This would allow SQL query over the database to select records that match the (Valence User or Windows Login). Is that possible?.
