Hi,

You can use VPN for this scenario. VPN would provide a secure network
(encryption) path between user at home and the company site using
internet. VPN can be setup pretty easily and quickly on any platform.

Here is what my developers are wanting to do, and I cannot think of a secure 
way to do this.


Have a user (at home) authenticate against our LDAP through a company 
portal/site and have that authentication information passed to an external 
vendor, allowing the user at home to utilize the application from home after 
being authenticated.


So, it's user at site A, authenticating with site B, and the user at site A 
using the application (after authentiation) at site C.


Sorry for being long winded, but everything there screams MITM to me.  I am 
probably missing something easy.
