FPCFirewallChaining object

Applies to: desktop apps only

The FPCFirewallChaining object defines the firewall chaining settings for the array. You can use these settings to configure how requests from Forefront TMG Client and Firewall Client computers and from SecureNat clients that are not handled by the Forefront TMG Web proxy will be routed. Requests from Forefront TMG Client and Firewall Client computers and from SecureNAT clients can be forwarded to the primary connection or to an upstream Forefront TMG computer.

The FPCFirewallChaining object has properties for specifying whether chaining to an upstream Forefront TMG computer is enabled and the name or IP address of the upstream Forefront TMG computer.

Note  Firewall chaining does not apply to requests from Web proxy clients. If you want to forward requests from Web proxy clients to an upstream proxy server, you must create Web chaining rules (FPCRoutingRule objects).

The FPCFirewallChaining object is accessed through the FirewallChaining property of the FPCNetworkConfiguration object.

Inheritance

This object inherits from the FPCPersist object, which contains methods and properties related to the persistent storage of an object's data. They include methods for exporting an object's data to and importing it from an XML document.

Members

The FPCFirewallChaining object has these types of members:

• Properties

Properties

The FPCFirewallChaining object has these properties.

Property	Access type	Description
AuthenticationEnabled	Read/write	Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the use of authentication in upstream routing is enabled.
Credentials	Read-only	Gets an FPCCredentials object that represents the credentials that are to be used for authentication when requests are forwarded to an upstream Forefront TMG computer.
ForwardTo	Read-only	Gets the name or IP address of the upstream Forefront TMG computer to which requests will be forwarded when chaining to an upstream Forefront TMG computer is enabled.
ForwardType	Read/write	Gets or sets a value from the FpcFwForwardType enumerated type that specifies whether requests are forwarded to the primary connection or to an upstream Forefront TMG computer.

 

Methods Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
CancelWaitForChanges	Cancels the registration established by the WaitForChanges method (for use in C and C++ programming only).
CanImport	Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the object's properties can be imported from the specified XML document.
Export	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to the specified XML document.
ExportToFile	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to the specified XML file.
GetServiceRestartMask	Retrieves a 32-bit bitmask of the FpcServices enumerated type that specifies which services need to be restarted for currently unsaved changes to take effect.
Import	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the object and of its subobjects from the specified XML document to persistent storage.
ImportFromFile	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the object and of its subobjects from the specified XML file to persistent storage.
LoadDocProperties	Provides the XML document's properties so that you can know what information can be imported from the document.
Refresh	Recursively reads the values of all the properties of the object and of its subobjects from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved.
Save	Recursively writes the current values of all the properties of the object and its subobjects to persistent storage.
WaitForChanges	Registers to wait for an event indicating that the contents of the object have changed (for use in C and C++ programming only).

 

Properties Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
PersistentName	Gets the persistent name of the object. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy.
VendorParameterSets	Gets an FPCVendorParametersSets collection that can hold sets of custom data for extending the object.
