“How do I configure the mrc-BED (Browser-Enhanced Development) Interface to use the mrc supplied security (mrcSignon.html and mrcSignon.xml), rather than using security from the HTTP Server.”

If you currently don't have mrc-BED installed to design web applications on your machine you need to do two things.

1. Download and apply an MRCCH

2. Follow the new BED Setup Instructions

If you have mrc-BED installed and would like to change it to use the security (mrcSignon.html and mrcSignon.xml) supplied from mrc, do the following:

1. Download and apply an MRCCH

2. In the configuration file for the Apache HTTP server, you need to delete some lines.

The file is on the iSeries IFS:

/www/<apache_server_name>/conf/httpd.conf where <apache_server_name> is the name you have chosen for your Apache HTTP server instance.

Delete the following lines to the configuration. This is the code that forces the HTTP logon for BED users:

<Location /webapp/mrc/>
Require valid-user
AuthType Basic
AuthName mrc_BED
PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
UserID %%SERVER%%
</Location>

3. End the HTTP Server. ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(apache_server_name)

4. Start the HTTP Server. STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(apache_server_name)

Now you are ready to run BED with the mrc security. Point your browser at the mrc-Productivity Series Main Menu by running the link below (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your iSeries IP address.)

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/webapp/mrc/servlet/MRCPS.MRC001

If you are running the Apache HTTP server on a port other than 80, you will need to use the following syntax (where yyyy is the port number on which Apache HTTP is running.)

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy/webapp/mrc/servlet/MRCPS.MRC001
