Authentication for Sharepoint 2007 Public facing site ( Internet )

Question

Sign in to vote
Hi is there anyone have the idea of the best practices for the sharepoint 2007 authentication for Public facing site ( Internet )? Normally would it be Windows authentication or the form base authentication?

We have a requirement and need to allow another PHP server (different domain) to use lists.asmx to update the list items. Currently the site is enabled for the anonymous access to list.asmx.

thanks

Hello,

Since you are using 2007 so there is no claim authentication. You can setup FBA to provide access to external users (who are not having account in company active directory).

Lists.asmx does not requires any additional authentication. You need to pass domain, username and password in code so your service can be executed in any system without any authentication.

Hope it could help

Claims authentication is recommended for internet site, you can also make different domain AD as a claim provider.

Refer to the following article for more information

OOPS! missed to notice that you are using MOSS. I agree with Hemendra's suggestion.
