How are "internal" users accessing the site now? Do you have an external authentication source you control? or would you rather use other authentication sources (Microsoft ID, Facebook, OpenID types of things?) – lwbecker2 Dec 6 '12 at 20:14
internal users are authenticating through AD once they are given access to the site. I would rather not give external users AD accounts and we currently do not have an external authentication source. Can you please give me some suggestion of good ones. Also, is there away to do it with out an external authentication source? Can sharepoint do the authentication if the site can be viewed externally? – Kevin Dec 6 '12 at 20:23
you could have a separate AD that you then make a one way trust ? – Oddmar Dam Dec 6 '12 at 21:10
Ok if the site is already externally can I just create local users on the SharePoint Server and have them authenticate that way. If so is there any security risk in doing that way? – Kevin Dec 7 '12 at 15:52
