Configuring the Web listener for a Web publishing rule
After you create a Web publishing rule in Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway, you may want to modify the properties of the Web listener associated with it, associate a different Web listener with it, or create a new Web listener for it.
To configure the listener for a Web publishing rule
In the Forefront TMG Management console tree, click Firewall Policy.
In the details pane, click the applicable rule.
On the Tasks tab, click Edit Selected Rule.
On the Listener tab, select the applicable Web listener from the drop-down list box. Alternatively, click New to create a new Web listener for this rule.
Click Properties.
If the Web listener is configured to use forms-based authentication and you want to use customized forms, on the Forms tab, do the following:
- Select Use customized HTML forms instead of the default.
- Type the name of the folder where the customized forms are stored.
- In Display the HTML form in this language, select the language in which the customized forms will be displayed.
If the Web listener is configured to use forms-based authentication and you want to configure the advanced form options, on the Forms tab, click Advanced, change the settings as desired, and click OK.
If you want to configure the port settings, on the Connections tab, configure the HTTP and SSL ports.
Click OK.
In the details pane, click the Apply button to save and update the configuration, and then click OK.
Notes
- In a scenario where you create a Web listener that uses forms-based authentication and RSA SecurID and you enable Collect additional delegation credentials in the form, Forefront TMG does not verify whether a user enters the same or a different name in the additional credentials.
- A Web publishing rule with a Web listener that uses a specific method of credentials validation must use a user set that is consistent with that validation method. For example, a publishing rule with a Web listener that uses LDAP credentials validation must also use a user set that consists of LDAP users. It cannot include Active Directory users.
- Changes that you make to the properties of a Web publishing rule or the Web listener associated with it apply only to new connections.
