An easier, yet a little more expensive solution... Give out tokens (RSA,
Safeword) to those users who need external access.

Subject: [THIN] Limiting application access through NFuse via IIS security?


I have a client that is using NFuse internally to deliver apps to several
thousand users.  They would like about 200 of these people to also have
access to their applications from home, but not all of them.

We are able to do this somewhat successfully by installing a separate
nfuse/csg server and having IIS require authentication at the metaframe
directory in IIS.  We also set ntfs permissions to match on the file system
level.

Everything works great except this requires a double logon(not acceptable to
the client).  Once for windows authentication and once for NFuse.

If I go into the nfuse admin page and enable pass-through authentication
then we get a step closer...  We don't have to logon twice and we do see the
correct applications for the user but we are unable to actually launch any
apps.  We get an error on the page that the variable NFUSE_USER not set.
Basically, the user credentials are being used to authenticate but are not
being carried through to the applications themselves.

Has anyone ever implemented something like this or have another suggestion
as to how we can accomplish this without using a secondary/third party
authentication means?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
