Aptify Users are individually licensed users with complete control over security at all levels, UI, Business Layer, and Database.
Web Users are not individually licensed users. They become available and are used by Aptify e-Business and other applications like Aptify Mobile for Members. Aptify does not limit the number of Web Users. Web Users and applications used by Web Users include authentication and authorization using a separate model from Aptify Users. Aptify’s authentication endpoints support both Aptify Users and Web Users based on information configured in metadata.

Authentication based on a Windows Domain. Authentication is performed by validating logon login to the domain user. This is similar to DomainUser authentication but relies on IIS to authenticate the user at the Windows level, once that has been performed then this provider verifies the user is a valid User in the Aptify. If it is successful then the user is logged in as a trusted user to Aptify. All operations within endpoints that require authentication will impersonate the Domain User.
