Hi,
 
One way we've used is to create a separate sub-domain for the external users 
with a one-way trust. That let's you manage them within your existing 
infrastructure (plus a couple of extra DCs as VMs) but let's you control access 
with a reasonable degree of control.
 
regards,

Subject: [THIN] Giving expernal parties access to your Citrix published 
applications


We have a MFXP Farm of approximately 4500 concurrent users all on Windows2003 
SP1 servers.  We have always brought Vendors in to a secure area via VPN to 
very specific servers.  We now have a need to bring in close to 500 concurrent 
users from a Vendor/Partner and I'm curious how others are doing this. 

As with everything, the easiest way is the least secure, so just giving them 
accounts in our AD and letting them hit our internal Farm via WI is probably 
not the best way to go.  I'm thinking we may actually want to bring up an 
external facing PS4 Farm for the Vendors/Partners.  When we do that we need new 
ZDCs, license servers, etc.  I guess we'd need an external Microsoft license 
server and a bunch of TSCals.  Maybe even a different WI server to ensure 
seperation from the regular employee access portal. 

Just curious how others allow external parties access to your applications.

Thanks in advance.
