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.

Post installation issues


Some of the post installation issues are mentioned in this section:

  • As we mentioned earlier, if you install UAG on the server locally (as opposed to using remote desktop), you will not be able to access it using a remote desktop unless you specifically configure TMG for this. We already mentioned earlier that adjusting the configuration of TMG is bad, but this is one exception to that rule. To configure TMG to allow remote computer access, follow these steps:

    1. Open the TMG configuration console.

    2. Click on Firewall Policy.

    3. On the Toolbox tab, click Network Objects.

    4. Expand Computer Sets, and then double-click Remote Management Computers.

    5. Click Add, and then select Computer.

    6. Type the name and IP of your computer.

    7. Click OK and apply the changes.

  • Another issue that is quite common, is getting the following error when trying to open the UAG management console:

    This error could appear upon re-launching the UAG console after having finished the Getting Started Wizard and having closed...
