Re: User licensing for web access

I got into this a little late but I think what Nathan is referring to is
this..

Lets say I make an app that sends webservice data when make requests to the
IBM i. That app uses OAuth 2.0 or something similar.

Each requestor I don't believe would be thought of a having "IBM i
credentials".

Steve,

I'm aware of the IBM i terms and conditions. It appears that you are
misinterpreting the word "credentials", and asserting that it means "any
type of credentials", rather than limiting it to "IBM i credentials".

When the terms and conditions refer to "applications", and "middleware",
they are referring to applications and middleware that authenticate against
IBM i credentials.

IBM i has no way of tracking users that don't have IBM i credentials. And
the type of user that might access IBM i via the HTTP interfaces are not
using any of the products listed in the WRKLICINF screens, nor any type of
client that interfaces with those products.

Hope that helps.
