I believe I have a problem with either Internet Information Server 6 or Internet Explorer 7 or maybe a combination of both.
This applies to my mobile users. When in the office on the local network the webpage they are going to works fine . But when outside of the office the webpage will not load unless it is added to the trusted sites list.
Items to know : SSL certificate is good (hasn?t expired). I do have another server running SharePoint Portal Server and it works fine inside or outside of the net and also has SSL cert.
Integrated authentication has been enabled on both servers and anonymous access has been disabled.

The laptops do belong to the domain and the users log in as themselves at all times inside/outside.
The only real problem with this is that, if the server is added to the trusted sites list, the user must log onto this server even when on the local network; so why bother with integrated logon authentication.

I would like to provide them the same user functionality that they have with the Sharepoint server.

Any suggestions on how to make this happen?

By Inside do you mean on an intranet, or LAN network? And by Outside do you mean by the internet, possibly (most likely) through a 3rd party? (such as an WLAN access point) That could make a difference to the signing on procedures. (the IIS won't reconize the labtop at first through the 3rd party server. -This is a Good thing BTW.)

Integrated authentication is not taking place when you come in to the web site by third party access (public wireless etc). What they can do is click the "permanently add this certificate" for the site, and have windows remember their log in info. Problem solved.

If they were logging in through a VPN and you were having this issue I would be concerned. It sounds like everything is behaving as it should.

Yes inside is intranet and outside is internet forgive me, I should have made that clear.
The laptops are used in a variety of places homes on cable, DSL and wireless access points, airports, etc....
It?s just puzzling that SharePoint works differently than the other page.
I would think they would be identical.
