Publishing SharePoint Products and Technologies via IAG SP1

Applies To: Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG)

Alternate access mapping provides a mechanism for Office SharePoint Server administrators to identify the different ways in which users access SharePoint sites, ensuring that URLs (links) are displayed appropriately for the manner in which the user accesses the SharePoint site.

Whale Communications Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) 2007 with Service Pack 1 supports alternate access mapping in:

• Windows SharePoint Services 2007

• Office SharePoint Server 2007

You can publish Windows SharePoint Services 2007 and Office SharePoint Server 2007 with alternate access mapping through the IAG portal. Users will also be able to access these sites, without having to pass through the IAG portal, using the public host name indicated in the application configuration.

1. On the desktop of the IAG, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Whale Communications IAG, and then click Configuration. Enter your password, as required, and then click OK.
