How To Enable SSTP (Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol) Split Tunneling with UAG 2010

  • Articolo

UAG 2010 (UAG) supports two types of network level SSL VPN:

  • Network Connector
  • Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP)

Network Connector is aimed at legacy clients and SSTP for Windows 7 clients.

Network Connector supports both split and non-split tunneling configurations while SSTP, when accessed through the UAG portal, supports only non-split tunneled connections.

This can be a problematic for firms that want to enable a split tunneled configuration to reduce the bandwidth drain that VPN clients can extract when split tunneling isn’t supported. And with current network security opinions moving away from disabling split tunneling as a security solution (see my articles on split tunneling for more information at https://blogs.technet.com/b/tomshinder/archive/2010/03/02/why-split-tunneling-is-not-a-security-issue-with-directaccess.aspx), it makes sense that admins would want to enable split tunneling for their UAG SSTP clients.

Faisal Hussain provides a solution on his blog and you can find it at:

    Hi Kai, I agree - if it were up to me, the split tunneling decision would be configurable in the UI :) If you publish the script, let me know, and I'll post a link to it on the blog - while it won't be supported, it still provides an option for those who want to do this. Thanks! Tom

    Hello, Question on SSTP VPN through UAG using Windows 7 Clients. I trying to find out if i can  "Disable Local Network Access" when the VPN is connected. I know this can be done with Network Connect, but windows 7 clients use sstp from what I've read. Does anyone know if this can be done. Thanks, Antonio

    Hi Kai, You know what's funny here? That we have all these people wanting split tunneling enabled for SSTP - but then we hear people want to force tunneling for DirectAccess - it's hard to figure this out! :) Thanks! Tom

    I'll see if there's anyone in the PG who might know something about this. Thanks! Tom

    Hi Tom, If u want become our hero in this case, then please aks your team mates if they could provide us a modified version of the "WhlClntProxy.cab" with "Splitt-Tunneling enabled" and "Class based route addition disabled". On this way we could control the routes by using DHCP options... TBH: I'm not asking for a CSS supported version of the file. Im just asking for a "Microsoft digital signed" version of the modified CAB file to streamline the deployment^^ Thanks! -Kai

    Well, u can advise your mates by telling them these two SSTP.PBK values... IpPrioritizeRemote=0 (Splitt Tunnel enabled) DisableClassBasedDefaultRoute=1 (Class based route addition disabled) -Kai

    Hi Tom, sure i can send you my scripts once they are finalized. But give me some time, since i'm somewhat busy right now and i dont want to make a run-of-the-mill solution... BTW: Do you have a good and comprehensive documentation on the SSLVPNTemplates.xml and wizardsdefault.ini files? I couldn't find useful informations regarding the containing advanced settings (e.g. flags, userrights, etc.). -Kai

    Hi Tom, Can you send me a copy of this script? It is possible to inject routes to client's routing table with this method? Once the SSTP is disconnected, is it possible to remove these route? I read some articles about using CMAK to customize the SSTP connectoid. Can this be intergrated with UAG portal? Thanks, kevin
