I've deployed sharepoint in an extranet environment, following the white
paper downloaded from
www.microsoft.com/.../Extranet.asp (the
document was published on May 2002).
My problem is that if I try to access the server from the Internet typing
http://<external_FQDN> or if I try to access my workspace at
http://<external_FQDN>/<workspace_name>, I'm prompted for a username
/password/domain but when I supply my credential (my username and password
and specify the domain name, which is the internal domain name, where my
account is defined) I get an error 401 message (unauthorized).
I didn't specified Anonymous access on my workspace but Basic Authentication
and I'm coordinator of the workspace and administrator of the SPS server.
I'm also member of the domain admins group.
Everything works fine from the intranet; if I type
http://<external_FQDN>/<workspace_name>, I'm prompted for my credentials and
after having supplied them I'm authenticated.
My scenario is the following:
Windows 2000 domain, Isa server 2000 with service pack 1and two nic, SPS
server with service pack 1. By the way there is something wrong in the
Microsoft Deploying sharepoint across an Extranet white paper. When it comes
to mapping an external IP address to an Internal Address, in the chapter
Configure Proxy Server, the white paper states that one have to open the
'ISA Management Console', expand 'Publishing', click on 'Server Publishing
Rules' and follow the wizard for the new server publishing rule. this won't
work, first because when one comes to 'Apply the rule to this protocol' and
tries to select HTTP Server, having not enabled SSL, there is not such a
protocol defined. I properly defined the HTTP Server protocol by myself and
proceded with the forementioned server publishin rule. After enabling this
rule, the applicationlog of the ISA Server shows a warning telling that
another application is using port 80 on the external interface (the ISA
Server is hosting our web site). So I disabled the rule and proceeded to
create a new 'Web Publishing rule' just as I did when I published our web
site.
