IAG 2007 is sold only as an appliance-based solution through our OEM partners, rather than as software only. These devices are configured with powerful hardware to support a broad range of usage scenarios.

Note:
We recommend that all customers deploy current security implementation best practices, including applicable hotfixes, as outlined at the Microsoft TechNet Security Center.

The following table illustrates what Web browsers are supported on endpoint computers.

An asterisk (*) indicates support for mobile Internet connectivity.

Although other browsers might also be functional, for optimal performance, we recommend use of these versions only.

Minimum Requirements

Note:

Some of the IAG 2007 client components are supported only on Windows operating systems running Internet Explorer. For details, refer to "Whale Client Components" on page 147 in the Intelligent Application Gateway User Guide. For those users running other operating systems or other browser versions, the IAG 2007 portal home page has been reworked to present a stripped-down page for browsers that do not support the rich environment necessary for the entire range of IAG features, such as scheduled logoffs and session time-outs.

For information on endpoint detection support, see IAG Technical Reference (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=106555)

The following table lists the prerequisites on the endpoint computer for the installation of the IAG client components, including prerequisites for each of the available installation modes.

1. For the Socket Forwarding component: The endpoint computer must meet the "Install Socket Forwarding Component Policy" set on the Session tab, in the Endpoint Policies area. For details, refer to "Endpoint Policies" on page 93 in the Intelligent Application Gateway User Guide.
   
2. On Windows 2000, the components can only be installed by using the Whale Client Components.
   
3. For the Network Connector component: any browser supported by the IAG.
   

The following table lists the prerequisites on the endpoint computer for running the IAG 2007 client components, after they are installed on the computer, including:
