Hi Roy, 

I'm currently writing a new article for isaserver.org about this subject.
You can already read an early draft at

To All Married Guys,


The disucssion threads caused by me seems to be overflow while I really want
to make sure the correct configuration and get to know the working
merchanism. To summarize the past discussion, what I want to know is
  - based on Client type: 1) FWC 2)WPC (webproxy)
  - at conditions: "webproxy authentication is enabled"
                   "autoproxy configuration shall be applied"
                   autodisvoery is properly configured already
  - result: right configuration so that no popup ask for authencaiton  
            in web browsing
 
After verious kinds of test in my VM, the situation is like this:
1) FWC:
   problem 1): if select "autodect ISA server" at FWC, it fails
               to find out unless "webproxy authentication is disabled"
   problme 2): if only select "autoconfig script" option at FWC tab
               for interal network configuration, popup windows
               asking for authentication comes up unless modify
               the autoscript URL by replace "ISA_FQDN" into "isa_host_name"
   no popup authentication windows only when select "autodetect" at
   at FWC tab for interal network configuration.

2) WPC:
   problem 3): in addtion to check webproxy agent, enable either
               autodectection or autodectation option at brower
               will bring up authentication windows (this
               must be caused by webproxy authenciation requirement),
               keep click cancel "Pop-up" so that broswer act
               just as natural WPC without autoconfiguration data to pass
               authentication.
   WPC must be manually setup including bypass list at client brower side.

As a conclusion, there is setting limitation for autoproxy/detection when
"webproxy authentication is required for all users". Kindly let me know your
some explanation for above problem 1) -3) if you think I am wrong.

Thanks,

Roy Tsao
