A new intranet site is in the works at our company using MOSS 2007
and I have been charged with finding a solution to company employees
who are not yet a part of our domain, logging into our new intranet.
A little background:
The current system of requiring domain logon for all content delivery
works very well with established sites that have local domain
controller. However, it is problematic when new or acquired sites
need access to basic Intranet content. When a site joins our
company, or a new site begins, the first thing we do is establish
network connectivity (or at least VPN access). While these folks
have connectivity to the company, they are not able to access public
content because they are not logged in to the company domain. While
there are workarounds in cases where domain credentials have been
created, it involves cumbersome processes (e.g. logging on each time
content is accessed, configuring cookies, etc.). In many cases
months transpire between the time the company network connectivity is
established and the capability to access Intranet content is in place.
In the new intranet, is there any possibility of having alluser
content delivered without the requirement for domain credentials?
This would ensure access to alluser Intranet content the moment
network connectivity is established.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
