Publishing SharePoint 2013

Hi there,

I currently use Sophos UTM 9.4 and, due to a lack of NTLM passthrough (and no desire to use web-forms), I'm unable to publish SharePoint 2013 to the internet - instead having to resort to VPN connections to make this work.

I'm investigating the option of migrating across to the new XG firewall product and, from what I've read, publishing SharePoint 2013 should be much easier.  It looks like XG firewall comes pre-configured with Policy Templates to easily achieve this.  Does this include NTLM passthrough (in much the same way as is possible with Outlook Anywhere on the UTM)? 

So, two questions:

  • Is it really as simple to publish SharePoint as the sales material makes it sound? 
  • Are there any guides - I couldn't see any?

Thanks very much in anticipation.

    as I know NTLM is not supported either on XG.

    Publishing Web Server on XG is much easier because you have templates that you neel to fill and they work "out of the box".

    Before you move to XG, install it on virtual environment and try it!

  • Thanks for the reply Luk.

    No big deal that NTLM pass-through is not enabled - I can always use Basic Authentication so long as the UTM can pass this through to the SharePoint server?

    So, in theory, I should be able to install SP, configure Basic Authentication, and then step through the XG template in order to get it to work 'out of the box'?

    Anyone here done that?
