Authoring server is new name given to shared authoring applications like MS Office, AutoCAD, PageMaker etc. which are normally used to create various types of documents. Applications are generally stored on
a seperate hard disk folder where it can be shared and run from all the client devices on network. This makes running resource hungry applications easy for everybody
on network. Plus your original application programs are protected from being accessed by unauthorised users with help of ERPWEB.
All this features are available free in most network operating system. In windows just right click on APPLICATION folder, goto sharing, give sharename & you are there. The APPLICATION is now shared on network. You can connect application URL with ERPWEB. You can then allot specific access rights and treat it as Authoring server.
