OK - I will have to look into this. The IIS product group wrote IIS 7.0 (with the concept of IIS user accounts) so that users did not have to buy CALs. ASP.NET forms based authN has never needed Windows CALs etc.

The other option is to get an external connector license that would cover all your servers. That sucks... - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: Michael B.
