I was able to use WAF with Sharepointservices 3.0 after disabling of NTLM ( interrogated windows authentication) in IIS and additional in Sharepoint. Only Basic Autentication is activ and it works. Disadvantage users need to authenticate in LAN to, but Remote Access through WAF goes only with one authentication. Important in WAF Virtaul Server must be HTTPS, while Basic Authentication insecure is.
Thanks for the update, only problem is this will not work for what I need. I prefer to use the Authentication based on active directory for my users. I would say that the concept of WAF is good, but not being able to handdle such a simple web service like sharepoint over standard http port 80 seems a little misleading in ease of use.
I hope something comes about for a fix on this sometime soon. I love the idea of not forwarding ports, but hate the constant work arounds to get something simple to work.
