Re: SharePoint Remote Access Permissions

Mike,

Thanks for the tip-off. Here is what I think MIGHT be happening:

[1] I think the Logon box that I am getting is actually generated by
the ISA 2000 Server. The Incoming Web Request Listener is set to accept
"Windows Integrated Authentication". I enter my credentials and it lets
me pass.

[2] The problem happens when I try to do something useful on SharePoint
(I still don't know why the front page is displayed). However,
(apparently) ISA can ONLY pass BASIC authentication details to the
SharePoint server - hence I fail to get any further.

I guess this could be the reason that you had to use BASIC
authentication on the SharePoint / IIS side of things.

I don't think that is particularly clear in the (Microsoft) "SharePoint
Portal Server Deployment Kit". It states the main reaons for this is to
allow "Customer and Business Partners to connect at will". Since I am
not interested in doing that, I thought I might get away with WIA. I
suppose they should have said, "You might want to consider using Basic
Authentication because WIA won't work through ISA Server".

I'm going to be struggling with the SSL now!

Thanks for all your help,
Stephen

Hi Stephen,

My understanding is that Integrated won't work through routers, which is why
I needed to use basic over ssl. Or have you implemented something to get
around this limitation?

Hello Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

I read that as well. I don't have a separate site mapping.

However, I ONLY have "Windows Integrated Authentication" enabled.
Everything else is disabled - as I am only intending to allow certain
domain users to access the system from home.

Do you think that will be OK?

TIA,
Stephen

just used the same site for external access.

When reading up on Sharepoint, I came across advice that is not a good idea
to use basic and integrated authentication on the same site, as search may
not work as expected.

Hello,

I am trying to setup my sharepoint server for remote access.

The current setup is as follows:
========================
Hardware Router / Firewall
Small Business Server / ISA 2000 (Multihomed)
Server 2003 Running SharePoint (Published by the ISA Server).

Initially, all seemed to be going to plan.

I can access the system from home and it asks me for my domain username
and password. The front page of the sharepoint server is displayed.

I can access all the configuration options, but as soon as I try to
access any of the shared documents (or use the search facility), I get
the "page not available" screen.

Anonymous access is disabled. Integrated Windows authentication is
enabled.

Could someone give me a few pointers please?

Thanks,
Stephen
