Access SharePoint 2013 outside server farm with AD Users
题
I want to know how to access my SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise when I'm not at work. The SharePoint Server is located at work. And I want to be able to access the Web Application E.G from home with my AD users only.
The Web Application uses Windows Authentication only.
What I have tried without any luck: Configure an alternate access mappings with Internet Zone. Both VIA GUI and Powershell. Created a host entry in DNS.
I hope someone can help me.
Regards

There's mainly two options:
Use a VPN, and access you SP sites as you would do from the inside of the network.
"Publish your SP server on the Internet":
Usually, you use a dedicated server known as a "publishing server" or a "reverse proxy" (like Microsoft TMG). That server has a public IP address (and you register a public DNS name to point to it). When a request comes in, the reverse proxy is configured to show up an authentication form. User inputs his/her credentials in fields, and then the reverse proxy will forward these credentials to SP (SP will see a request coming in as if it was a "normal" request, Windows-authenticated, from the local network). AAM will also come up in the game, but that's the small part of the whole configuration.
其他提示
- You could create a VPN network from your home to your office network. (Recommanded)
- Alternate access mappings isn't just working for External access, you need to configure too in your router and your DNS server, that's a little complexe in this situation.
