Overview of this book

Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) is the latest in a line of Application Publishing (Reverse Proxy) and Remote Access (VPN) Server products. The broad set of features and technologies integrated into UAG makes for a steep learning curve. Understanding all the features and abilities of UAG is a complex task that can be daunting even to experienced networking and security engineers. This book is the first to be dedicated solely to Microsoft Forefront UAG. It guides you step-by-step throughout all the stages of deployment, from design to troubleshooting. Written by the absolute experts who have taken part of the product’s development, official training and support, this book covers all the primary features of UAG in a friendly style and a manner that is easy to follow. It takes you from the initial planning and design stage, through deployment and configuration, up to maintenance and troubleshooting. The book starts by introducing UAG's features and and abilities, and how your organization can benefit from them. It then goes on to guide you through planning and designing the integration of the product into your own unique environment. Further, the book guides you through the process of publishing the various applications, servers and resources - from simple web applications to complex client/server based applications. It also details the various VPN technologies that UAG provides and how to take full advantage of them. The later chapters of the book educate you with common routine “upkeep” tasks like monitoring, backup and troubleshooting of common issues. Finally, the book includes an introduction to ASP, which some of the product's features are based on, and can help the advanced administrator with enhancing and customizing the product.

  2. Authentication: This tab controls how UAG authenticates users who attempt to log into the trunk. It also controls the logon and logoff pages, the session termination timer and the setting which allows you to enable the OWA look and feel for the portal.

  3. Session: This tab controls how UAG manages sessions, such as session timeout, the maximum number of concurrent sessions and the session endpoint cleanup component. It also controls the endpoint component use and certified endpoint use.

  4. Endpoint Access Settings: This tab controls the endpoint policies applied to the trunk, including the use of NAP policies. We have already covered this in Chapter 8, so we won't cover it again here.

  5. Application Customization: This tab controls how UAG customizes applications...
