HELP! I have Frog and ISA Server 2006 and cannot get SG working any Ideas?

 

I have published the Web server and can get to Frog from the internet (external) but cannot get the SG to work. Frog say I need to port forward port 2001 - that means nothing to me Frog say they know nothing and don't support ISA. go figure!

Anyone with ISA configuration and network rules for this. I will be very grateful for any help.

 

Many thanks.

Hi Dark,

 

With a lot of testing and some help I've got this up and running. Lets see if I can help you out. We have our own internal i/p network where the frog server is. This attaches to a network card in our ISA server (which is running ISA 2006). The network from our 'isp', is attached to a second network card in the server and has the i/p address given to us by the ISP and also the i/p of the frogserver being routed to by our ISP.

 

Assuming your ISA server is configured ok for web surfing and other connections and all is working ok Then you just need to add the external frog i/p to the external network card addresses on the server and then in ISA Server Management setup a Web Publishing Rule for the website then several Server Publishing Rule to allow in requests from a number of different ports.

 

First thing though you need to setup a weblistener (A network object) before you can add the Web Publishing Rule

 

In the weblistner setup you need to do the following

Networks - Check External then select it and choose the external frog i/p from the i/p selection

Enable port 80

Enable port 443 and chose certificate if you have one else don't worry about it.

Client authentication method. - No authentication.

Default for everything else on the listener.

 

Setup the following rule

 

Web Publishing Rule (Firewall Policy > New > Web sitel Publishing Rule)

 

Enable and allow. From anywhere to the internal I/P of the frog server (not the name, must be the i/p)

check forward original host header

check Requests appear to come from the original client

For all traffic HTTP and HTTPS

Select the listener that you have created as the listener

Add the http://www.... addresses in the rules for public names

You can take the defaults for everything else.

 

This should get you up and running for the website.

 

You also need to setup new protocol for port 2001 (Inbound port) then setup a Server Publishing Rule port 2001. and point it to the i/p of your frog server.

 

To allow the frog people in for management you will have to setup several Server Publishing Rules for different ports. I suggest you ask Frog for this info.

 

Your Web Publishing Rule must be the last in the 'frog' rules list all the other frog based rules come before this.

 

eg

1 Server Publishing Rule (Frog1)

2 Server Publishing Rule (Frog2)

3 Server Publishing Rule (frog3)

4 Web Publishing Rule (Frog Webserver)

 

Remember on the ISA server to Apply any changes you do as they won't become 'live' until you do so.

 

I hope this helps.

If you need any more detail then PM me.

My kids school have just installed Frog Parent Portal and are handing out pre-generated logins/passwords, but only one per child. Is this standard Frog procedure?

The school can generate as many usernames/passwords for each child as they want/need. I can see why they have just created one per child, it will make managing the system much easier.
