Could you not enable SSL for the SharePoint Website and create user accounts for the contractors that only allow them to see the content they need?
I am kind of a SharePoint newbie so not sure if this is a viable option or not. Mark From: Steve Ens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 May 2008 15:55 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Sharepoint in the DMZ I've got a sharepoint server sitting on a virtual machine. I've been tasked to give some of our contractors access to the box to enter information, etc. I've thought about giving them domain user names and locking down terminal sessions, giving them access to that box only. I've thought about putting that machine on the DMZ. I've through about putting it in front of the firewall altogether. This is new territory for me and I'm not 100% comfortable with any of my "thoughts" yet. Any other suggestions? Obviously there are pros and cons to each of these, and there probably is a better solution available which I haven't thought of yet, to be secure as well as accommodating. Thanks.
