Ok, so my understanding is this, and please correct me if I'm wrong: 1) If we're going to go with putting an AD in the DMZ, and go for Windows authentication, we need CALs for every user that will authenticate. 2) If we go application authentication, and I'm not sure what exactly that is, then we don't need the CALs? 3) If we use Web edition, then we don't need the CALs? Thanks all, Joe Heaton

Authenticated access is defined as an exchange of user or application credentials between the server software and a user or device. An example of this exception would be if *unidentified* (emphasis mine) users browsed your public Web site. Windows CALs would not be required for those users." - Andy O. >-----Original Message----- >From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Friday, May 16, 2008 9:34 AM >To: NT System Admin Issues >Subject: RE: Client licenses for web apps (was: AD in the DMZ) > >What about for those of us still on 2K3?
