ISA Firewall Client

The ISA Firewall Client software provides a uniform Winsock service provider that Winsock applications can use. When an application makes a request, the Firewall Client software intercepts the request and determines whether the request needs to be routed to the ISA 2004 server. If the request is not considered local, it is routed to the ISA 2004 server for processing and further routing. Windows user information can be included in the request, allowing the ISA 2004 server to process rules and firewall policies that are user-specific.

The ISA Firewall Client is usually distributed directly from the ISA 2004 server. During initial installation, you can choose to create a distribution share for the Firewall Client. If you didn’t create the client distribution share during initial installation, just re-run the setup program to add the Firewall Client distribution share. The default share location is \\isaservername\MSPClnt.

You can run the setup interactively, or you can perform an unattended setup to have it run without intervention. The unattended setup command line would be

\\isaservername\MSPClnt\setup /v "SERVER_NAME_OR_IP=isaservername /qn"

By installing the ISA Firewall Client on the computers on your network, you enable advanced firewall policies that make decisions based on the Windows user or group credentials. Without the Firewall Client, you won’t have the Windows user credentials available to make firewall policy decisions.

Note

There is currently no Firewall Client available for 64-bit clients. If you have policies that use Windows user credentials, you’ll need to make special exceptions for clients that are 64-bit.

Import, Export, Backup, and Restore

ISA 2004 provides both export/import capability, and full backup and restore capability. Both have their place in the defense and protection of your ISA 2004 server and should be performed regularly and on an as-appropriate basis.

Export and import can include the entire ISA 2004 configuration, but it’s most appropriate to save the partial configuration information after you’ve made a change or where you want to be able to propagate that configuration information to another server. You can choose during the export process whether to include confidential information, and apply an encryption password to the resulting .xml file that contains the configuration information.

Backup and restore are used when you want to save a complete backup of the server configuration. It includes user permissions and all confidential information, and an encrypting password is required. Use backup and restore when you want to clone the configuration of an ISA 2004 server.

To backup the configuration of an ISA 2004 server, follow these steps:

1.
Open the ISA 2004 management console, and navigate to the Getting Started page.

2.
Click Backup The ISA Server Configuration in the rightmost pane to open the Backup Configuration dialog box shown in Figure 1. Enter a descriptive file name for the backup, and click Backup.

Figure 1. The Backup Configuration file dialog box

3.
The Set Password dialog box will open. Enter a password to encrypt the backup file. Passwords must be at least 8 characters and should follow strong password rules. Click OK, and the backup will start. When completed, click OK again.

To restore the configuration of an ISA 2004 server, follow these steps:

1.
Open the ISA 2004 management console, and navigate to the Getting Started page.

2.
Click Restore The ISA Server Configuration in the rightmost pane to open the Restore Configuration dialog box. Navigate to the saved configuration file, and click Restore.

3.
Enter the encrypting password, and click OK. If you type the wrong password, you’ll see the dialog box shown in Figure 2, and the restore operation will terminate. If the restore operation is successful, you’ll still need to click the Apply button on the main Getting Started page before the restored configuration will be implemented.

To export the configuration of an ISA 2004 server, follow these steps:

1.
Open the ISA 2004 management console, and navigate to the main page of the portion of ISA 2004 configuration you want to export. To export the entire configuration, navigate to the Getting Started page. As an example of a partial export, navigate to the Firewall Policy page.

2.
Click Export System Policy on the Tasks tab in the rightmost pane to open the Export Configuration dialog box shown in Figure 3. Enter a descriptive file name for the export. Select the Export Confidential Information box. If available, in this section, select the Export User Permission Settings box.

3.
Click Export to open the Set Password dialog box, if you’ve chosen to export confidential information. Enter and confirm the password to encrypt the information.

4.
Click OK to begin the export. Click OK again when the export completes.

To import the configuration of an ISA 2004 server, follow these steps:

1.
Open the ISA 2004 management console, and navigate to the main page of the portion of ISA 2004 configuration you want to import. To import the entire configuration, navigate to the Getting Started page. As an example of a partial import, navigate to the Firewall Policy page.

2.
Click Import System Policy in the rightmost pane to open the Import Configuration dialog box. Highlight the policy you want to import. Select Import Cache Drive Settings and SSL Certificates if you want.

3.
Click Import. If the export was encrypted, you’ll be prompted to enter the password for the file. Enter the password and click OK.

4.
Once the import completes, click OK to close the dialog box. The actual changes to the ISA 2004 server configuration won’t be implemented until you click the Apply button on the main System Policy page.
