    HI Marwa,

    In order to use the outlook crm client via the Internet, without vpn, you will need to configure and setup IFD.  IFD will then turn on forms based authentication when clients are connecting outside your network.  In addition, you can select to force SSL when connections originate outside your network (highly recommended).  Use the ifdconfig tool.

    Report authentication works better as well.

    Hi,

    If the certification will be crm.abc.com then the org name has to be crm and the root business unit has to be crm.  There is no way around that I'm aware of.  The root business unit is always the name of the organization.
