To specify credentials for communication with the Configuration Storage server (Enterprise Edition)ISA Server 2006 Enterprise Edition only

  1. In the console tree of ISA Server Management, click the applicable array:

    • Expand Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006, expand Arrays, and then click Array_Name.

  2. On the Tasks tab, click Configure Array Properties.

  3. On the Configuration Storage tab, click Select.

  4. In Select Authentication Type, select one of the following:

    • Windows authentication. Select this option if the Configuration Storage server and the computer running ISA Server services are in a single domain or in domains with trust relationships.
    • Authentication over SSL encrypted channel. Select this option if the array members and the Configuration Storage servers will be in a workgroup or in untrusted domains.

Note

To open ISA Server Management, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft ISA Server, and then click ISA Server Management.

Important

If you select Authentication over SSL encrypted channel, a certificate must be installed on the Configuration Storage server. You can use the ISACertTool, available on the ISA Server Download Center (https://www.microsoft.com/), to deploy certificates. By default, ISACertTool deletes all certificates in the ADAM_ISASTGCTRL local store. By including the /keepcerts switch when you run the tool, you can retain all existing certificates.
Certificates typically have an expiration period, usually no more than one year. ISA Server cannot use an expired certificate. Be sure to renew your certificates before they expire, so that ISA Server can continue to function.
