I have an n-tier application that uses windows
authentication. I am going to have my middle-tier and
database running on a domain and allow users from another
company/domain to run the application over a VPN through
a front-end I have created. The problem is that I
authenticate the front-end user through windows
authentication. Since the client is on another domain
they are not authenticated users and they will never pass
authentication. This works if all the machines are on
the same network of if I do a point to point connection
because in this situation, it uses the sessions logged on
user name and password, but this is not the case when
connecting two corporate networks. The middle-tier
machine can be either a windows 2000 server or if
necessary, a windows 2003 server. I am wondering the
best way to solve this problem. I have just started to
look into IAS but I am not sure if this will work or if
their is a better solution.
