Configuring Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 for Internet-facing deployment Published: February 13, 2009 Updated: May 15, 2009 This document describes configuring Microsoft Dynamics CRM (On-Premise Edition) for Internet-facing deployment (IFD), and a few of the common issues and resolutions associated with Microsoft Dynamics CRM IFD. You can deploy Microsoft Dynamics CRM (On-Premise Edition) using one of the following deployment types: Microsoft Dynamics CRM for internal users only Microsoft Dynamics CRM for internal users and IFD access Microsoft Dynamics CRM for IFD-only access For more information about configuring Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Internet access only, see Internal Network Address under the 'IFD configuration properties details' section in this article. Microsoft Dynamics CRM uses Integrated Windows authentication to authenticate internal users. Integrated Windows authentication implements pass-through authentication functionality so that Microsoft Dynamics CRM users are not prompted a second time to log in to Microsoft Dynamics CRM after their initial sign on to the Active Directory network. Configuring IFD for Microsoft Dynamics CRM enables access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM from the Internet, outside of the company firewall, without using a VPN solution. Microsoft Dynamics CRM configured for Internet access uses forms authentication to verify credentials of external users. When configuring Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Internet access, Integrated Windows Authentication must remain for internal users.
Configuring IFD sets the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site to use anonymous authentication for external users, and provides a sign on page to capture users' credentials and obtain an authentication ticket cookie. Microsoft Dynamics CRM IFD checks for a valid CRM ticket cookie before processing the page request. When a page request does not contain a valid CRM ticket, the page request is redirected to the sign-on page. A page request with an expired CRM ticket is also redirected to the sign-on page. Users access the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site by typing the IFD URL in Internet Explorer.
Because this type of authentication sends user credentials and passwords using clear text, you should always configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). For more information about SSL, see. For more information about forms authentication and IFD, see.
For more information about forms authentication with active directory, see. On This Page You can deploy Microsoft Dynamics CRM for IFD by using one of the following methods: During Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server installation or upgrade. O Install a new deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM (On-Premise Edition) using command-line options and an XML configuration file that contains IFD configuration information (specified in the following topic).
