Enterprise Edition

The Enterprise Edition adds LDAP, SAML and OIDC sign-in, directory group mappings, audit logs, additional policies and the gateway for browser-based SSH, RDP and VNC connections. The vendor also mentions free Enterprise use for up to ten users as well as paid and hosted offerings.

These features are not part of the Apache-licensed Community version. The reviewed feature and installation pages do not show a clear open license for the additional server components. This page therefore neither calls them proprietary just because they have a price nor open source just because they can be activated for free. Clarify the specific Enterprise license terms separately before using them.
