Extend Web Application

Extending a Web Application is just a couple of clicks in Central Administration. Lets say I want an extranet for the portal.aune.local created in the previous post.

Extend the SharePoint - 80


Open Central Administration and go to Manage web applications:

 Chose the SharePoint - 80 and click Extend on the Ribbon:

Configure:

Note: I haven't used any different Security Configuration, so this only show how its done. But obviously for an extranet the SSL would be a choice to consider.


Configure DNS


Make sure to configure your DNS records, I have used a CNAME, but you could just use a A record too.

Just for good measure, Reload:

That's all, now you can access the site at extranet.aune.local.
