Applies To: Unified Access Gateway

This application publishing deployment guide provides detailed guidance on how to publish corporate applications via Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) portals.

Through the creation of Forefront UAG trunks that act as consolidated gateways, you can publish one or more corporate applications. Applications that are published via a trunkl can be accessed by a diverse range of remote client endpoints. Endpoint access is controlled by a number of mechanisms, which include, client authentication, endpoint health checks against access policies, and authorization for specific trunk applications. Each trunk has a portal page via which users access the published applications.
