<h1 class="topictitle1">Validation list on HTTP Server</h1>
<div><p>This topic provides information about validation lists for limiting
access to your HTTP Server.</p>
<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> Information
for this topic supports the latest PTF levels for HTTP Server for i5/OS .
It is recommended that you install the latest PTFs to upgrade to the latest
level of the HTTP Server for i5/OS. Some of the topics documented here are
not available prior to this update. See <a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.html" target="_blank">http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/software/http/services/service.htm</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> for more information. </div>
<p>Your system uses validation lists in conjunction with other resources to
limit access to your server resources. Each validation list contains a list
of Internet users and their passwords. Each Internet user has one valid password
defined for it. An iSeries™ user profile is never created for the internet
users. </p>
<p>A validation list is an AS/400 object of type *VLDL that stores user names
and passwords or SSL certificates for use in access control. Validation lists
are case-sensitive. Validation lists reside in iSeries libraries and are required
when adding a user unless you are adding the user to a group file. If you
enter a validation list that does not exist, the system will create it for
you. </p>
<p>To create and delete validation lists, you can use the CL commands Create
Validation List (CRTVLDL) and the Delete Validation List (DLTVLDL). <a href="../apis/sec6.htm">Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs)</a> are also provided to allow applications
to add, change, remove, verify (authenticate), and find entries in a validation
list.</p>
<p>Validation list objects are available for all applications to use. For
example, if an application requires a password, the application passwords
can be stored in a validation list object rather than a database file. The
application can use the validation list APIs to verify a user's password,
which is encrypted, rather than the application performing the verification
itself. </p>
