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.

It's somewhat ironic—the organizations that have moved to IPv6 are actually making it easier for others to stick to the old technology, in a weird twist on Game Theory. Anyway, one of the primary benefits of using DA with UAG is the fact that it includes several components that make using DA in a non-native IPv6 environment (meaning, a network that has little or no IPv6 hosts or devices) possible. The first of these is Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) . ISATAP is a mechanism that allows IPv6 capable hosts to communicate with each other over a network that is based on IPv4. This is a similar concept to the connection mechanisms used by DA clients, but it is a different mechanism with a different purpose. It is designed to allow your DA clients to access IPv6 capable hosts (such as application servers, or other computers on the internal network) even though your...
