Hi,

 

We are looking to license our Windows AD server, and I got to know that we need to know if we need User or Device CAL.

 

 

A User CAL allows one user to access the server from any device, while a Device CAL allows multiple users to access the server from a single device.

 

 

I'm unsure what is being referred to as access in this context, the Administrator configuring things on the server, or the VPN users in the OU (that do not access the server actually, they are just authenticated by the server).

 

The AD server is used for VPN authentication so it has multiple users in the Users OU.

 

The AD server has only 1 Administrator.

 

The AD server is connected to a Fortigate Firewall for VPN authentication.
