We are remote hosted by Siemens - currently on 8.0.3 Apps & Envir.

When we upgrade to 9.0 Apps - Does LID go away? I am hearing that we can no longer use LID, and it is all now Portal (Web based?) is this true??

I know it may be a dumb question - but I am not sure at this point... thanks anyone! :cof:

LID does NOT go away...... HOWEVER.....

If you want to take advantage of the new Lawson Security, you have to use Portal. If you want to keep your old LAUA security you can continue to use LID.

Now, having said that, and having had a chance to do some work on 9.0 Portal systems, I think your end users won't mind the transition to LSF 9 Portal. It's actually quite "LID-like" - much more so than earlier versions of Portal.

For the admins LID is still there, and although there is a java based LAWTERMINAL that is supposed to be a web-enabled version of LID for administrators, I'm still partial to the desktop version - If they'd make it SSH compliant and give me a scrollbar I'd be happy forever... Or at least for a little while...

We will be upgrading from 7.2.2.7 to 9.0 apps and to LSF 9.0.
At the same time, we will also change platforms (iSeries to Unix) and User Interfaces (LID to Portal).

Our architecture requires us to go ahead and implement Lawson Security, which is fine ~~BUT~~ will we be able to grant LID access to a small group (developers)? We would really like to be able to do that.

Thanks. :cof:

Since you can have BOTH lase (New Lawson Security - internally pronounced at Lawson as "lassy") and laua in the same environment, you can set up security classes for the developers in laua in the development environment and they can use both LID and Portal to create and test.

I assume you are excluding them from production, so you can use the more granular lase exclusively there to better secure your business users.

Schronce,

Thanks for sharing. :D
