Users and Communication

In Microsoft Dynamics AX, Enterprise Portal users, or Web users, can be any of
the following individuals:

• Employees who access Microsoft Dynamics AX through an intranet
or an extranet

• Customer or vendors who access Microsoft Dynamics AX through
an extranet

• Unsolicited vendors who want to sign up to be vendors, and who
access Microsoft Dynamics AX through a public Internet site

• All Web users access Microsoft Dynamics AX through Enterprise
Portal.

Note the following information about Enterprise Portal client connections and
communications:

• All browser-based clients and Microsoft Dynamics AX clients access
Role Centers through Enterprise Portal. Microsoft Dynamics AX
clients use a browser control to display Role Centers.

• Enterprise Portal uses the Report Web part to display reports that
exist on the SQL Server Reporting Services server.

• Enterprise Portal uses ASP.NET user controls and the Enterprise
Portal framework to display Microsoft Dynamics AX data and
reports.

• Enterprise Portal uses Windows Communication Framework (WCF)
and .NET Business Connector to interact with an Application Object
Server (AOS).

The language that is used in the user interface for Enterprise Portal is determined
by the user interface language that is specified for each user in the Microsoft
Dynamics AX client. The user interface language also determines how values are
formatted.
