Hiya
Rather than provide a login on the external side, can they not just click a menu option like “customer logon” on the anonymous site, that links straight to the (likely ISA2006) published intranet web app (using different dns alias)? That might seem innocuous, but that alone means no app dev or customizations and then it’s a fairly standard extended web app with FBA or some other non AD based auth provider. Microsoft don’t support client integration in this scenario as Clayton mentioned a while back in another thread, but there are lots of blogs on how to make it work. (I’ve never had to do client integration in this scenario though). Whether all of this is a bad idea or not is a risk proposition. Certainly, I’d be using a different SSP/web app site collection for this external facing part or their intranet if I could.

They want to use MOSS External Connector to an externally facing, anonymously accessed MOSS installation. However they then want this anonymously accessed MOSS installation to provide a login link which allows an externally located user full access to the separate MOSS based Intranet on a separate server, on which content authoring and publishing is performed. They also want these external users to be able to use Office 2007 products against this secured MOSS based “Intranet” while accessing it externally without a VPN connection. I am uncomfortable with elements of this proposed scenario, and would really appreciate any pointers people can provide on the best way to approach such a scenario, or in fact the advisability / inadvisability of it, or superior alternative approaches.
