Notes

  • The Web listener can also be configured for HTTP authentication or forms-based authentication. However, client authentication will then be performed over HTTP without encryption. Because user credentials will be transmitted in plain text, such configurations are considered insecure and are disabled by default. To enable such a configuration, open the properties of the Web listener. On the Authentication tab, click Advanced, and then select the Allow client authentication over HTTP check box. For best security practices, use such a configuration only if you have an SSL accelerator in front of the Forefront TMG computer. For more information about Web listeners, see Web listener overview.
  • This procedure creates a separate Web publishing rule for each published site specified, but they all use the same Web listener.
  • When you publish multiple Web sites according to this procedure, the public name suffix is appended to each of the internal site names that you specify. For example, if you want to publish the sites news.fabrikam.com, sports.fabrikam.com, and weather.fabrikam.com, specify the internal site names news, sports, and weather, and then provide the public name suffix fabrikam.com. The wizard will create three Web publishing rules, one for each of the sites, each using the same Web listener.
  • You can configure the way in which credentials are passed to the published server in a Web publishing rule. For more information, see About delegation of credentials.
  • Web publishing rules match incoming client requests to the appropriate Web site on the Web server.
  • You can create Web publishing rules that deny traffic, to block incoming traffic that matches the rule conditions.
  • Forefront TMG does not treat paths as case-sensitive. If your Web server includes both foldera and folderA, and you publish a path to one of the folders, both folders will be published.
