Authentication...

Hi there,

I have a client who has an intranet running on NT. He would now like to
provide access to some of his intranet to his road warriers. However, he
does not want to provide dial-in access or VPN because sometimes the road
people will be using clients machines.

My job is to provide a method for authentication for those people and then
allow them access to his NT intranet completely independently from the NT
authentication scheme.

My only idea is to provide a box with squid authenitcating the users, and
having the NT box allow any access from that one IP. Then his road people
can change the browser's proxy to point to this new proxy server
(non-caching) which authenticates them and then makes the requests to NT.

Any ideas on why this wouldn't work or better solutions.

Thanks for any help.
Cheers
craig
