Deployment differences

LN UI does not require any client side java plugin. An HTML5-capable browser is sufficient. For supported browsers, see the Infor LN UI Administration Guide.

LN UI is supported on a wider range of client operating systems. For supported client operating systems, see the Infor LN UI Administration Guide.

LN UI only supports Infor LN. For detailed information on the compatibility of LN UI with LN Tools and application versions, see Infor Customer Portal KB1460896 or KB1834377. Baan IV, Baan 5, and older LN versions are not supported.

LN UI does not support Fujitsu Workflow.

LN UI does not support old style Web UI homepages.

LN UI only supports report preview (print to display) in PDF format, not in HTML format.

LN UI does not support integration with LN Report Viewer.

LN UI does not support Java Web Start mode.

LN UI does not support local printing (printers connected to the client) through BWPRINT. Local printing is only supported through the browser PDF viewer plugin. Bar code printing using BWPRINT is possible using a Windows Server Printer device. See "Windows Server Printer" in the "Device Management" chapter in the Infor Enterprise Server - Administration Guide.

These installation modes are supported for LN UI:

A fresh installation. This requires a Tomcat instance which cannot be shared with an existing Web UI installation. After a fresh installation of LN UI, the administrator cannot import configuration settings from an existing Web UI installation.
An upgrade installation from an existing Web UI installation. This installation replaces the existing Web UI product. After an upgrade installation, the administrator can import Web UI configuration items from the previous Web UI installation. For details, see the Infor LN UI Administration Guide.

LN UI supports these authentication methods:

Single Sign On based on Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). This authentication mode is only available when the LN UI Web server is deployed on a Windows OS.
Single Sign On based on IFS/ADFS authentication.
Authentication at the LN server ('backend authentication')

LN UI cannot start client side applications (such as Notepad or MS Word) from an LN session.

LN UI does not support Infor LN Office Integration.

LN UI does not support the ECM Infor LN document integration package.

LN UI does not support document management based on Microsoft SharePoint.

LN UI does not support Silverlight-based Workbench sessions when using Chrome or the Safari browser.

LN UI help does not work in Infor BW and Infor LN Worktop. For details, see Infor Customer Portal KB1499582.

Online help information is stored on the Web server where LN UI is installed, not on the Infor Ming.le server. In case of Web UI, online help information is stored on the Infor Ming.le server. For details on how to install help packages for LN UI, see the Infor LN UI Administration Guide.

Because online help is stored on the LN UI web server, the administrator must change the configuration for the documentation context application in Infor Ming.le. For details, see the Infor LN UI Administration Guide.

In LN UI, online help consists of static HTML pages. Therefore you cannot customize the online help.
