I'm aware of developer recommendation not to install web apps in ibays, but it doesn't meet everyones situations.
Part of the underlying reasoning is to limit potential security issues, and stop end users having easy access to web code etc, where they could introduce security issues in badly written code etc.
In a situation where end users do update web pages directly (by say VPN connections), then ibays is the only practical place to have web apps/sites.
This is particularly so where there are different groups of users administering different sites in different ibays, then Group membership can control who has access to the ibays. Practical access issues override the preferred developer recommendation in these cases. After all ibays were created for this very purpose.
I see developer recommendations more as "the better way of doing things", rather than "must do it this way", and I have had a fair bit of contact with & received advice from Charlie & Gordon over the years, so I respect them greatly.
