Re: Licensing: Linux/PHP auth against AD

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

My sense is that you are right. A server is licensed by connections, which
pretty much boiks down to sessions. If you are not initiating sessions to
the server, seems to me like you're not meeting the requirements for a
license.

Hello everyone.

We have Windows 2003 Active Directory. Our intranet server is running
Linux/PHP. We are able to authenticate against AD using PHP (adldap).

We now want to have all employees be able to authenticate on the
intranet, so we will need to add all employees to AD. Do we need to
have a license for each employee we add in AD?

My assumption is no, since we are just using it as an LDAP
authentication database.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dale
