Configuring the Alternate Access Mapping Setting for the External URL

Before external access can be granted to a site, an alternate access mapping (AAM) must be established for the particular web application. An AAM is a host header value (such as https://portal.companyabc.com, http://server4, https://home.companyabc.com, and so on) that must be consistently applied to the site across all links. If it is not put into place, external clients will not be able to access internal links.

To configure the AAM in this scenario, home.companyabc.com, on a web application, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the SharePoint Central Admin Tool.
  2. Click the System Settings link in the links provided on the left of the screen.
  3. Under Farm Management, click the Configure Alternate Access Mappings link.
  4. Click Edit Public URLs.
  5. Under Alternate Access Mapping Collection, select the AAM Collection that corresponds to the web application for home.companyabc.com.
  6. Enter the https:// AAM needed under the Internet box, as shown in Figure 14.2. In this example, we enter https://home.companyabc.com. If the web application will be addressed by other names, enter all possible names here. Click Save.
