Hi<br />
<br />
I have a problem with a application working through ISA Server on 2003 sbs.<br />
<br />
The application is a accounting package<br />
It has to pickup a ticket from from the providers website/servers through https<br />
The application allows me to log on, when i go to validate which looks for the ticket a box comes up unable to connect to server. The tech support of this application indicates that this is a firewall problem. The tech support agent indicated i needed access to certain website adresses. I have put these website addresses in the direct access panel in website under client configuration. I gues the server returns info as well as me sending. <br />
Could anyone tell me what else i should be looking at or configuring to allow access inbound and outbound to these sites. It would be a great help if you where quite explicit in which areas to configure or check.<br />
The server has two network cards.<br />
I can connect via remote workplace to this server and to another server from this network so i guess https must be working (not sure if they operate by a different rule)<br />
If anymore info is required i can provide but im not sure what other info is required as i am not familiar with isa server.<br />
<br />
Many thanks for those who reply

ISA and HTTPS Authorisation

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
