Using the Browser on the ISA Firewall (2004): Date - Sep 24, 2004; Author - Thomas Shinder; Section - Articles; One of the most popular requests I see on the ISAserver.org Web boards and mailing list is "how do I use the browser on my ISA firewall". This is a painful question for me to hear. In an ideal firewall security environment, you would never use the Web browser on the firewall. However, I work through my pain in this article and show you how to run IE on the ISA firewall itself.

Magalhaes; Section - Articles; In this tutorial I will show you how to open ISA up so that MSN can pass through it and so that you can communicate with other MSN clients on the internet.

Strong Outbound Access Control using the ISA Firewall (2004): Using Scripts to Populate URL Sets and Domain Name Sets: Date - Sep 08, 2004; Author - Thomas Shinder; Section - Articles; One of the ISA firewall’s strong suits is its exceptional stateful application layer inspection. In addition to performing the basic task of stateful filtering (which even a simple ‘hardware’ firewall can do), the ISA firewall’s strong application layer inspection feature set allows the ISA firewall to actually understand the protocols passing though the firewall. In contrast to traditional second generation hardware firewalls, the ISA firewall represents a third generation firewall that is not only network aware, but application protocol aware. This article shows you how to leverage the ISA firewalls stateful application layer inspection by using an automated approach to populating Domain Name Sets and URL Sets using scripts.
Allowing Intradomain Communications through the ISA Firewall (2004): Date - Sep 06, 2004; Author - Thomas Shinder; Section - Articles; The new ISA firewall’s enhanced support for directly attached DMZs has led to a lot of questions on how to allow intradomain communications through the ISA firewall from one network to another. This is a great question because you can now create multiple directly attached perimeter networks and allow controlled access to and from those perimeter networks. You can now safely put domain member machines on these DMZ segments to support a variety of new scenarios, such as dedicated network services segments that enforce domain segmentation. This article shows you have to create an Access Rule that allows the required protocols through the ISA firewall.
