WebService Security between DMZ - Protected Network

I have a custom desktop application which invokes an ASMX web service. The Service is hosted under a SharePoint Site in a Virtual Directory in IIS. The authentication used is Windows Integrated.

Now, I want to use the same application from a host in our DMZ. I configured ISA Server to allow HTTP access from the DMZ to the Server in our protected network.

Trying to test the application I got some errors like: "Client found response Content type text/html but expected text/xml". I guess that this error comes from the authentication failure since the same app works fine in the protected mode.

What are my options here concerning authentication? Should I allow Anonymous?

Thanks, Dimitris.

I finally found the solution! I had to provide to all the DMZ Domain users that would access the Web Service "Allowed to Authenticate" Permission under Active Directory WFE's computer account
