2007 PWA Internet

[Ray in Naples FL]

I am very new to MS Project and I need a hand.

I sucessfully installed Project Server 2007 and was able to log into it and
create users and such and it works perfectly from inside my LAN.

http://project.mycomany.com/pwa

I have opened ports 80 (and 443 because I intend to use it via SSL) but gain
no access. I get the Logon Prompt but then after logging on I get IE's
famous Page cannot be Displayed message. I am obviously missing something
but I can find no help anywhere documented so any help would be appreciated.

At this point if I could get it working wide open on port 80 I feel
confident in my IIS abilities that I could get it working with SSL.

The reason you are able to logon via the LAN is because by default you are
using windows authentication.; To publish the site externally, you will have
to configure the site to use forms authentication. Do a search for asp.net
or sharepoint forms authentication. I recently learned how this is done from
the Orlando devcon 2007 conference I attended in March.

Ray:

You can also use Windows Auth across the Internet, but not in the way or
order you're trying to do it. The key is in setting up the authentication
providers such as Raymond mentions in his post.

Thank you both for your replies but I figured out that I needed to set the
internet path in sharepoint.

I realized that internally even though I would use the external path that it
would flip the addess back to the internal path. Obvisouly that will never
work online. So I went into Sharepoint Central Admin and clicked on
Operations and then selected Alternate Access Mappings. I added the internet
path of Https://project.mydomain.com/pwa and all was well. Now I can get my
to my PWA site via SSL from my own certificate from my internal certificate
server.

Oh and yes windows Auth works perfectly. Thanks

Once that little detail was sorted out the rest was cake.
