What are the options to allow non-organizational users access to content protected by Windows Rights Management Services (RMS)?
John Savill / September 18, 2008 A. For an internal RMS implementation, content is protected, in part, by user accounts, so that external users normally cannot access the content. RMS requests use Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). SOAP operates over HTTP (port 80) or HTTP Secure (HTTPS, port 443), which means that only these ports need to be opened on the firewall and routed to the RMS server. For additional security, you can place in the DMZ a firewall with Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server, which then forwards the packets to the DMZ in the internal network and can optionally strip out the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Two URLs are configured for RMS: an internal URL and an external URL. The external URL allows RMS clients to obtain use licenses to view protected content. (For more in-depth information about RMS, see “Windows Rights Management Services.
