Chapter 26. Case Study: An Enterprise with an Extranet

In this chapter we examine how a hypothetical company might extend its intranet-based services to its external trading partners . Such an arrangement, called an extranet, is an effective way to leverage existing systems and expertise.

In such a deployment, a directory service is usually already designed and deployed. However, to expand its service, the directory must be extended beyond the organization's internal network (and outside any firewalls). This creates additional requirements, especially in the area of security and access control, that might necessitate a reassessment of the basic directory design.

In this chapter we build on the fictional company HugeCo that was introduced in Chapter 25, "Case Study: A Large Multinational Enterprise." We discuss changes and improvements to HugeCo's existing directory service that extend the intranet application suite to the extranet.
