Configuring MS SharePoint through webNetwork

Configuring MS SharePoint through webNetwork

SharePoint will work through webNetwork, but there are a few issues. 

SharePoint really is designed for a full MS environment, if you are not using IE, you may lose some functionality. 

There are a few Microsoft URLs that should be referenced.

What Every SharePoint Admin Needs to Know About Host Named Site Collections 



These documents explain how to set up SharePoint to work through a proxy server. 
This tells SharePoint that you will be connecting to SharePoint on a different 
name than the normal name. This name will be the name used in the webapp 
virtual dns name. SharePoint uses this to generate urls on the web page. 

For example. Normally on the LAN the user type http://sharepoint/ to login to SharePoint. 
This obviously will not work on the internet because it won't know what you mean by http://sharepoint. 
You will also probably want to secure SharePoint with SSL. So to let webNetwork handle the SSL, we have to tell SharePoint to respond on some new names. 

To use the example from the MS blog, replace 
https://www.conteso.com with https://wnsharepoint.example-cloud.com 
and 
http://sharepoint.dmz.contoso.com with http://intsharepoint.example-cloud.com 

This means that in webNetwork we are going to make a Host object that points to 
instsharepoint.example-cloud.com on port 80 Then the virtual webapp sets up a virtual 
dns name of wnsharepoint.example-cloud.com. By setting the Host Authority to 
disabled, the user talks to webNetwork with https://wnsharepoint.example-cloud.com and 
webNetwork in turn talks to SharePoint with http://intsharepoint.example-cloud.com. 
SharePoint sees that and knows when it sends back the information, it should 
format the pages with https://wnsharepoint.example-cloud.com
