Most of the new features and capabilities seen in ISA compared to are difficult for the average ISA firewall admin to see if only a superficial look at the product is taken. The user interface is the same, the networking model is same, there have been no changes in terms of how the ISA firewall performs outbound access control, and there have been no changes to the core networking and traditional firewall feature set. The bulk of the improvements seen with the ISA firewall are focused on secure Web publishing.
While the Microsoft marketing message focuses on the three pillars of. Technical decision makers will quickly discover that ISA adds relatively little to ISA SP2 in the outbound access control and protection and branch office gateway scenarios. However, they will notice that there are some profound improvements in secure application publishing.
To be more specific, to secure Web Publishing. ISA includes built in mechanism to prevent exhaustion of non-paged pool memory so that even when under heavy denial of service type worm or DNS flood attacks, the ISA firewall will be able to stand up even when the ISA firewall might fall over and need to be rebooted. While it might seem that there is a relatively small feature set on which to base upgrades from to , the improvements included with ISA Server make it worth upgrading for any company that publishes Web sites.
The table below provides a comprehensive, but not necessarily complete list of new and updated features included in the ISA firewall. Customers benefit from this feature because they do not need to enable NLB on the farm warm which would require that the farm members be SecureNET clients and the customer does not need to purchase an expensive external load balancer, such as F5.
Forms-based authentication support for all Web Publishing Rules. ISA Server expands its forms-based authentication support by enabling forms-based authentication for all Web sites published using Web Publishing Rules.
This generated multiple authentication prompts. In ISA Server , a user can pre-authenticate with the ISA firewall and then that users credentials can be delegated as Kerberos credentials to the published Web servers, thus avoiding multiple authentication prompts and improving the end-user experience.
ISA supported only delegation of basic authentication. ISA Server enhances support for authentication delegation by enabling credentials to be delegated as Kerberos, Integrated, Negotiate or basic. This increases the flexibility of deployment for ISA firewalls since many published Web servers do not support basic authentication.
In addition, the increases security for Web Publishing scenarios where SSL to SSL bridging is not an option and prevents the clear text basic credentials from being intercepted on the wire. In ISA , there was little or no support for allowing the users to change their passwords when using Forms-based authentication. ISA Server solves this problem by integrating the ability for a user to change his password right in the log on form.
Integrated support for Password change notification on log on form. In ISA , there was no integrated support for providing users information about pending password expiration dates. ISA solves this problem by making the option available to the ISA firewall administrator to inform users of pending password expiration dates. You can customized the warning period by specifying the number of days in advance that you want users to be aware of password expiration. ISA Server breaks out Web from non-Web publishing tasks into two separate wizards, making it easier to publish non-Web protocols for your Exchange mail server.
It was possible to publish SharePoint Portal Servers using ISA , but the process was potentially complex and not all features were available from the Internet because of problem with link translation. ISA Server solves this problem with enhanced support for SharePoint Portal Server publishing and an updated link translation dictionary that takes all the complexity of successfully publishing a SharePoint Portal Server deployment.
In ISA , users had to reauthenticate even if they were connecting to a Web server in the same domain as the original Web server. If multiple Web sites belong to the same domain, and are published by the same Web listener, then users will not be required to reauthenticate and cached credentials are used.
Support for wildcard certificates on the published Web Server. ISA supported wildcard certificates on its Web listener, but did not support wildcard certificates on the published Web server located behind the ISA firewall. ISA Server improves on wildcard certificate support by allowing the ISA firewall administrator to use a wildcard certificate on the published Web server. The Client Certificate Restrictions feature allows you to set restrictions on the certificates users can provide when User Certificate authentication is enabled.
Restrictions can be defined based on:. This allows you to implement User Certificate Authentication as a method to limit access only to corporate managed machines and devices, such as PDAs and PDA enabled phones. Fall back to basic authentication for non-Web browser clients. ISA Server solves this problem by detecting the user-agent string in the client request and falling back to basic authentication when the client is not a Web browser.
Link translation dictionaries are used to change the contents of pages returned to external users. This is helpful when Web applications imbed private computer names in responses sent to external clients, since external clients are not able to connect to servers using their Internal names.
ISA Server includes an enhanced link translation dictionary that automatically populates itself based on settings in your Web Publishing Rules. This allows the ISA firewall administrator to provide a seamless experience for external users who need to access multiple sites published by the ISA firewall.
Cross array link translation allows you to publish Web sites across multiple arrays and have the link translation dictionary available for all arrays in the same ISA Enterprise Edition enterprise group.
This greatly simplifies large deployments by automatically populating the link translation list and avoiding the requirement for manual reconfiguration. The prevents problems with session handling for connections that might be spread across multiple array members for specific URLs contained within the same page or session. This feature has been carried over and included with ISA Server BITS caching for Microsoft updates greatly improves bandwidth utilization over site to site or WAN links, making more bandwidth available to branch offices that would otherwise be overwhelmed with update traffic from servers located at the main office or the Internet.
Main office servers also benefit from bandwidth optimization provided by BITS update caching. HTTP compression is very useful in a branch office scenario where bandwidth to the main office is at a premium. Diffserv is a method that can be used on Diffserv enabled networks to give preference to certain packets over others. The ISA firewall administrator can use Diffserv to prioritize packets destined to certain server over those of non-priority servers. ISA Server takes the complexity out of branch office deployment by introducing a branch office deployment wizard, that enables the ISA firewall administrator to create a simple answer file that allows a non-technical user to plug a branch office ISA firewall device and run the answer file from a simple link.
Ability to assign multiple certificates to a single Web listener. This was problematic when you wanted to use the same Web listener to publish multiple secure Web sties.

This is how every thing is setup. Now every thing works fine external user can connect to FTP site no problem.
But for internal user ISA server is deniying with no rule. Our ISA server got windows and its got two interfaces internal and external. Thing i don't understand is why its deniying the internal traffic with no rule. Make a note of the default local path for the FTP directory structure. Put a checkmark in the Write checkbox so that we can test FTP upload capabilities.
Click on the Firewall Policy node. Click Next. In the Ports dialog box, select the Publish on this port instead of the default port option in the Firewall Ports frame. In the Port text box, enter the value Click OK. Click Next on the Select Protocol page. On the IP Addresses page, put a checkmark in the External checkbox.
Then click the Address button. Click Next on the IP Addresses page. Click the Apply button to save the changes and update the firewall policy. Perform the following steps to test the connection: Open a command prompt window. Next, at the FTP command prompt, enter open Enter the user name anonymous at the FTP command prompt and press ENTER, then enter a password the password does not matter because this is an anonymous connection.
After logging on enter dir. A list of files appears at the command prompt.
