Authentication

[Guest]

I am setting up a Share Point Team Services site that I will have clients
access form outside of my LAN and Active Directory. Is there an
authentication option that I can use to authenticate these users without
putting them into AD?

You will likely do better asking this one a Sharepoint
list.

Although I am not a Sharepoint expert, to the extent you
can guess from IIS there are other likely choices.

IIS supports authentication against AD, but also MS
Passports (expensive though for the server), Certificates
(which can be mapped to one or more AD accounts),
and anonymous methods.

(Note for IIS this is a subset of the authentication types
since MOST of the authentication methods actually
authenticate against the Server or AD accounts, i.e.,
Basic, Digest, Integrated...)
