Hi JB, Good eye. The text should have read: "The Web Proxy Service can be configured to require authentication, but you cannot limit access to all protocols on a per user/group basis, only those mediated by the Web Proxy service (HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/Gopher)".

I'm finding this a bit confusing. Can't authentication requirements serve the same purpose by only authenticating specific users or groups? -- J Burford Fields of JB Fields & Associates, LLC jbfields@xxxxxxx www.jbfields3.com "So, everything in the world is a metaphor for something else?"--El Postino ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org/ Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
