Hi Tom, What about if the user is smart enough changing the executable name to something else? what about for safari, opera, Netscape, mozilla??? looks like my only option is removing firewall client and pushing proxy settings through group policy. Also following one of my last post, I had to run the firewall service under local system account instead of network service due to some incompability with 3rd party tools. Do you think that might be a problem too?

None that I can think of, because the hosts have to be configured as Web proxy clients for it to work. You can't use authentication to control this, because the Firewall client can authenticate too. I suppose you could disable=1 for the Firefox executable. That will cause the Firewall client to bypass connections from Firefox and then then when authentication is enforced, then they must be Web proxy clients since SecureNAT clients can't auth. That should work.

The HTTP redirector would work for anonymous connections in 2000, but the auth model changed (for the better) for 2004, but the filter guys didn't get wind of it or something, so now if you allow users to disable their Web proxy config, they can still auth via FWC and get by the Web filter, even though the Web proxy filter is still bound to the HTTP protocol. Supposed to be fixed soon, though. Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder Tom and Deb Shinder's Configuring ISA Server 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 MVP -- ISA Firewalls
