Nathan,

In the presentation I sat through, "authentication" was a generic term. It didn't make any difference whether the authenticating user was a System i user profile or one of your own users in your own database. If there was a process that involved uniquely identifying a user and passing a userid and password, it was "authenticating" and was using a User Entitlement that would have to be paid for.

User Entitlements are unique users, not concurrent, and it is "use and burn". There was some talk about deleting a user and creating a new one and that would "restore" a UE, but counting users will be something I think IBM will refine over time. Basically they said that now it is "self enforcement". Even the OS will continue to run if you exceed the 40 max users on a 515.

Should be an interesting area to watch. My guess is that the most simple way to handle it will be to buy the External Access license and be done with it.

Pete

That's interesting. But what if you're not using HTTP Authentication? Or
maybe you're using Tomcat? Or maybe the HTTP request is simply routed to PHP
or Webshpere?

Thanks,
