CHAPTER 6

Web Site Setup and Configuration

All businesses need a web site. The way we solve our web site problem is to use different web hosting companies to manage our web site and different web technologies. One of the less-known features of Office 365 is its web site capabilities. There are three different web technologies that are available to users on Office 365 Enterprise subscriptions. These are the public web site, the SharePoint team site, and Windows Azure. The SharePoint team site is activated as an intranet site (by default). The Office 365 public web site and Windows Azure will need to activated and configured.

Before we dive into building your own web site, let’s step back and look at Office 365 user permissions. User permissions and security use Active Directory as the security supervisor. The security supervisor keeps track of the user logins, passwords, and user account information. Microsoft Office 365 uses this account information to link to other cloud services, using a concept of “federation.” Federation is simply the linking of different services to a central security supervisor (or Active Directory). When you look at the Office 365 web site capability, there are two different types of services: SharePoint and Azure. The security supervisor manages the Office 365 accounts and provides access to users to these different services. This is where the concept of Office 365 web site is derived. There are two different SharePoint web sites: an intranet and a public web site. Figure 6-1 is an example of an intranet web site.
