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.

Creating an HTTPS trunk


To create an HTTPS trunk, open the Forefront UAG Management console on your server, right-click on the HTTPS Connections branch and select New Trunk. On the wizard, select Portal Trunk, but don't check the option Publish Exchange applications via the portal, even if you plan on doing so. You will be able to launch the Exchange publishing wizard at any point, and we will discuss that in depth in Chapter 4.

On the next page, type in a name for the trunk, and the Public hostname you selected earlier. The public hostname should not include the HTTPS:// prefix. Select the public IP address that will be assigned to it, or one of them, if there's more than one. Leave the port selection fields as they are, and don't worry about the "80" one – that does not mean it will be non-secure. Be careful about selecting the trunk name – it's not visible onscreen to the end-user, but it is part of the URL that the user might notice, so make sure it's something respectable and reasonable...
