Enabling users to access third-party applications via Web Parts

This topic describes how to enable access from the SharePoint Web application to third-party applications via Web Parts, when the SharePoint Web application is accessed through IAG. Web Parts are reusable components that can contain any kind of Web-based information, including analytical, collaborative, and database information.

For third-party applications that communicate directly with the application server (for example, Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access), you need to add a corresponding application to the IAG portal. In the Configuration console, use the Add Application Wizard to add the required applications to the trunk that enables access to the SharePoint Web application. For more information, see "Creating an SSL VPN Portal" in the Intelligent Application Gateway User Guide.
