Topic: giving internet access to intranet pages on internal machine

[Stuart L]

hi there,

i have a number of sme servers on our LAN.

our website is hosted on our sme server/gateway and accessible from the internet.

we then have 5 intranet servers inside our LAN hosing a lot of content.

i would like our users when at home to be able to visit our web site and click on a link that says intranet.   when they click on that link they are asked for a username and password.  if the username/password are correct then they can view pages from the intranet servers.

any ideas how to achieve this?

(there is too much content on the intranet servers for it all to go on the server/gateway machine).

thanks for any suggestons.

You should look into proxypass for redirecting to internal webservers. Ddownload updated version of proxypass module for SME 5.6 from
http://tech-geeks.org/contrib/loveless/beta/proxypass/
You also may want to look at http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/mitel/howto/website-access-security-howto.html
for password protecting of some pages on SME itself and use builtin security on your intranet servers for restricting access to them.

So... PPTP wouldn't fit into this scheme then?

That would allow access to more than just the internal web pages, but all resources as if they were in the office...

proxypass seems to be exactly what i was looking for.
