SafeSearch within Forefront TMG 2010

[DO1]

Hello all

 

Has anyone found a way to successfully filter Google search results (over SSL) in MS Forefront TMG? A quick Google search has suggested forcing clients down the non-ssl route (nosslsearch.google.com) and all the problems that go with that (we're running Server 2008r2 domain). Very little mention of solutions within MS TMG

 

What are organisations doing to filter SSL search results, particularly image searches?

 

Cheers for any input

as TMG is an ISA server you could look at redircting ssl requests to use http??

Without MITM you can't redirect HTTPS requests to HTTP - unless the origin website does it for you, in this case, Google are willing to do so with "nosslsearch". The DNS based trickery to achieve this, in my view is overkill. I prefer a connect-header rewrite, but this relies on your proxy to support it.

 

Short answer: you need a DNS server that supports their kludge, or a proxy server that supports mine
