subject: Re: User licensing for web acc SBS



I have reviewed the IBM i licensing documents and believe that I have enough of an understanding to respond to the question. Whether browser or any other client, that doesn't matter. What matters is whether a user is "authenticating against IBM i".



I interpret the phrase "authenticating against IBM i" to mean authenticating against such things as an IBM i user profile, user validation list, user LDAP directory entry, etc. via an IBM i user authentication API.



I don't believe that includes the use of authentication APIs that are NOT part of IBM i, such as methods that you come up on your own.



If a user is not "authenticating" at all, then they are not considered "a user", who is subject to user-based licensing fees.



In regard to browsers, any user of the browser-based Navigator for i, or any other browser user interface that uses IBM i authentication, would be "a user", subject to license fees.



HTH,



Nathan.
