Connect to Project Server on Different Domain

[Anbu.Thangarathinam]

Hi All,

I have hosted a Project Server on a Domain A, and I want to provide
access to the Project Managers working from remote location in Domain
B.

I use Windows NT authentication as login. Domains A & B are not trusted
each other.

These managers also have separate Windows accounts on the Domain A, and
currently they access through Remote Desktop client with the Domain A
login and update their projects. This takes lot of time and relies on
the network more.

Please note, I don't want to trust these domains as they are in two
different regions.

Is there any way to provide access to the project managers from Domain
B to upload their projects and update the resource time sheets?

Thanks in Advance.
Anbu

Using Remote desktop or some terminal solution is the way to go in this
scenario.

Managers can access PWA without RDP client but there is no easy way to access
Project Professional client remotely without some kind of terminal solution.

Your managers are already using it the right way.

Thanks Faisal for your reply.

I heard that it's still possible for providing access to particular IPs
or Systems to access the server through DNS. Has anybody encountered
such situations? I have seen a message on this group that they were
able to host for server for different domain users (even for Project
Professional). But the link was closed for new updates.

Could someone help?

Anbu,

In my previous post I said '.. no easy way ..' There are difficult ways to
accomplish. . But you have to keep a balance in achieving functionality
with security & performance.

You can configure firewall to open ports required by Project professional to
communicate remotely. That will allow DB access as well. In order to 'secure'
it a little bit you can configure firewall rules/policies to restrict access
to certain IPs. But keep in mind even in doing so you data will still travel
insecurely over internet.

Check opinion of others as well.

Don't know if this is what you are looking for but you can "mask" you
real server IP with a 192.... address.
