Hi guys,

I am sure this is server admin 101, but I am unsure of the answer and would love some help.

I am a software developer I have built an application for a client and am currently hosting it successfully on SliceHost. We are now coming out of Beta and the client wants to have the application within their firewall, but they do not want to deal with headache of hosting and maintaining the server.

Is there a way I can recommend that we put our server at SliceHost within their Firewall? Is that an easy thing to do?

Their specific requirements are:

  1. For my application to authenticate against their Active Directory, and
  2. Only allow access to the application from within their network

If that is not possible, what should I recommend to my client?
