Windows server
for a pet project i am setting up a windows 2003 web server. i want to be able to use sharepoint as a website that i can access over the internet. i did some research an discovered i should use ISA to secure sharepoint. if i dont however, my question is if i setup sharepoint on the server and set access permissions etc with AD users and groups, when i try to access sharepoint over the internet will it ask me to login with a valid AD user account?.
basically i want to know if sharepoint uses active directory as a backend database for user permmissions when i access sharepoint over the internet.
thank you
