you should never poke a hole in your firewall to use a app on your network, such apps should be in a DMZ.
-----Original Message----- From: Janine Jakim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 June 2003 14:25 To: CF-Talk Subject: Intranet to internet and security So far all of our applciations have run from our intranet. I just made a little app that needs to be open on the internet. When I talked to the system engineer she said: "I will want to investigate security options such as certificates or https. Once we configure a hole in the firewall, we have exponentially raised the risk that the data or systems will be compromised, so I will want to take any appropriate preventative measures." I'm wondering what others have done in similar circumstances. Is there a set "good practices" way to do this? And how much time would a good solution take?
