Weblink Instances with Public Portal Licensing

WebLink Licensing

Updated October 29, 2014

asked on August 21, 2014

Hello, I have referenced other documentation and forum posts and am confident in this configuration. I just need a confirmation from Laserfiche Corporate that the information below is correct and acceptable within Laserfiche licensing limits in regards to RIO and Public Portal utilization:

Configuration

-1 Laserfiche Server w/ Unlimited Public Portal Licensing and 5 repositories

-1 Weblink Server (Internal), 5 DBIDs for 5 repositories

-1 Weblink Server (External for Public Access), 5 DBIDs for 5 repositories

-1 Weblink Server (Duplicate of External for High Availability)

-All web servers point to a single Laserfiche server.

Assumptions:

-Internal and External Weblink servers can both utilize Public Portal connections.

-Named users can still access the internal Weblink by logging in with their named user credentials for customized security view of repository.

-Unlimited Weblink servers can utilize and share the unlimited Public Portal licenses as long as there is only 1 Laserfiche server.

Thank you!

That's correct, Chad. As the Public Portal assignment is on the Laserfiche Server itself, you can connect as many separate WebLink instances to it as you want. The limiting factor is the processor/hardware on the Laserfiche Server.

As a follow up question --

Does this functionality change at all when using AVANTE as opposed to RIO?

The only difference is that you manually allocate the public portal assignment to your desired Laserfiche Server instead of it being part of the sole Laserfiche Server activation key.

If I may ask a follow up question related to this, you mention internal users can use Weblink. I have a scenario where our client wants to use Weblink Internally as well as externally, they have the Pilot so that means 25 concurrent users.

I actually have 2 questions:

Question 1 is, can I create accounts for those 25 users (Or really, 100's of users, all using the concurrent 25 pool)? This way they could log in and see private folders just for their eyes.

Question 2 is, do the Internal users have to have a named user license in order to log into private folders in Weblink?

I look forward to knowing the answer, Thanks!

Named user accounts can be used to log into WebLink. A public portal account can be any account that does not have a named license and is read only (while also not having the Manage Trustees privilege). You can have any number of public portal accounts created, but only 25 of them can be logged into WebLink at any given time. Access rights can be configured for these public portal accounts. Named user accounts logging in through WebLink do not count against the pool of public portal users logged in.

Thanks Alex, this is the explanation I was looking for. No where else does it explain it this way. I appreciate your time.
