The subject of using SharePoint as an Extranet has come up in conversation a few times recently and I was wondering if the community pursue this option in their Farms? We used a very cool Extranet tool called Extradium on SP24, but I know there are other options out there (such as doing your own Forms Based auth). I am really interested to see how you do it? If you do extend SharePoint to your partners do you go for a completely separate Farm running SP Foundation? We also offer a solution to help manage third-party risk so would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Hi Mark,
I’ve used the Extradium, codeplex and few other solutions. I’ve used MS ISA server with the AD logins for a client based on their needs. Below is a version 1.0 of my blog post on this topic that gives a high level overview.
