Allowing an unencrypted channel for legacy Firewall clients

  • Article

Firewall Client for ISA Server 2004 (and later versions) provides encryption of Firewall client credentials sent transparently over a TCP control channel with each client request to Forefront TMG. This default setting prevents legacy clients from connecting. You can select to allow non-encrypted communications to support the following clients:

  • Firewall Client versions earlier than Firewall Client for ISA Server 2004.
  • Client computers running Windows NT 4.0, Windows ME, or Windows 98.
  • For more information about supported operating systems for Firewall Client software, see About Firewall clients.
