CMT_H_RoutePrimary

To configure a primary route for Web requests

  1. In the console tree of ISA Server Management, click Networks.

  2. In the details pane, select the Web Chaining tab, and then select the applicable Web chaining rule.

  3. On the Tasks tab, click Edit Selected Rule.

  4. On the Action tab, click Redirecting them to a specified upstream server, and then click Settings.

  5. In Server, type the name or Internet Protocol (IP) address of the ISA Server computer.

  6. In Port, type the port number on which the upstream server listens for Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests. This is typically port 8080.

  7. In SSL Port, type the port number on which the upstream server listens for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) requests. This is typically port 8443.

  8. (Optional) If ISA Server should determine the configuration of the upstream server, to retrieve objects from the upstream server, click Automatically poll upstream server for the configuration and type the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for the server.

  9. (Optional) If the upstream server is accessible only when the server supplies credentials, click Use this account, click Set Account, and type the user name, password, and authentication type.

  10. (Optional) If ISA Server should dial out for primary connections, on the Action tab under Automatic dial-up, select Use automatic dial-up for the primary route.

Note

To open ISA Server Management, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft ISA Server, and then click ISA Server Management.
For ISA Server 2006 Enterprise Edition, expand Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006, expand Arrays, expand Array_Name, expand Configuration, and then click Networks.
For ISA Server 2006 Standard Edition, expand Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006, expand Server_Name, expand Configuration, and then click Networks.

Important

When you select Automatically poll upstream server for the configuration, ISA Server will determine the configuration of the upstream server. The local ISA Server computer uses this information to retrieve objects from the upstream server.
Because ISA Server supports pass-through authentication, the authentication information of the client requesting the object is passed to the upstream server. However, if the upstream server might not be able to identify the client, you can specify Use this account and supply which credentials to pass.
