Enabling a network to receive Firewall client requests
[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

This topic describes how to configure Firewall client support on a particular Forefront TMG internal or perimeter network.

You can configure the following properties for a Firewall client:

  • Enable Firewall client support.

  • Enable the network to accept requests from the Firewall client on TCP port 1745.

  • Configure Web browser settings for Firewall clients on the network.

  • Create a local domain table (LDT) to specify the domains that Firewall clients on the network should access directly.

To enable Firewall client support

To enable Firewall client support
  1. On the Forefront TMG Management console, click Networking.

  2. On the details pane, click the Networks tab.

  3. Right-click the required network, and then click Properties.

  4. On the Firewall Clients tab, do the following:

    1. To enable the network to listen for Firewall client requests, select Enable Firewall client support for this network.

    2. In the Name box, enter the fully qualified domain name of the Forefront TMG server to which Firewall clients should make requests. Ensure that there is a Domain Name System (DNS) entry available so that clients can resolve the name. Otherwise, specify an IP address.

To configure Firewall client browser settings

To configure Firewall client browser settings
  1. On the Forefront TMG Management console, click Networking.

  2. On the details pane, click the Networks tab.

  3. Right-click the required network, and then click Properties.

  4. On the Firewall Clients tab, select one of the following:

    • To enable clients to use a Web Proxy Automatic Discovery (WPAD) entry obtained from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DNS server to automatically discover a WPAD server on which the Wspad.dat configuration file is located, select Automatically detect settings.

    • To specify that Firewall client Web browsers should obtain settings from a configuration file, select Use automatic configuration script. The default Forefront TMG configuration file holds information about the proxy server to be used for Web requests and about the settings specified on the Web Browser tab and Domain tab of the network properties. You can also create a custom proxy automatic configuration file. This method can be used together with WPAD. If WPAD fails, the configuration script location is used.

    • To specify a static Web proxy that clients should use for Web requests, select Use a Web proxy server.
