Getting started with Microsoft ISA Server 2006, Part V: Configure HTTP Filter
ISA, Security, Windows February 1st, 2008Have you ever need to block users using MSN or Yahoo Messenger? Or block them to using free email services? Or even block them to post anythings on web boards? Or block them to using bit torrent to download files? This topic can answer these questions by using Microsoft ISA Server 2006.
From Part I to IV, you have finished simple configurations on Microsoft ISA Server 2006 to work in your network. But ISA Server can do a lot more than that. Another benefit of ISA Server is that it can filter HTTP traffic. If you know attributes of each HTTP traffic, you can block MSN/Yahoo Messenger, Bit torrent, web mail, disallow post on web boards, etc by allow or block HTTP traffic using HTTP filter. I think most of the readers may not familiar what HTTP traffic look like so let’s see about HTTP traffic in the next section.
Note: This topic isn’t require in order to running ISA Server, only Part I to IV are sufficient. But this topic will be benefits in most organization to improve security.
The series are divided into 5 parts:
- Getting started with Microsoft ISA Server 2006, Part I: Installation
- Getting started with Microsoft ISA Server 2006, Part II: Configure Network Topology
- Getting started with Microsoft ISA Server 2006, Part III: Create Firewall Policy Rule
- Getting started with Microsoft ISA Server 2006, Part IV: Configure Client Type
- Getting started with Microsoft ISA Server 2006, Part V: Configure HTTP Filter
HTTP Traffic
HTTP Traffic on ISA Server is a data that pass through ISA Server using HTTP protocol (by default is on port 80) which is the protocol that is used by most applications. On each HTTP connection, there will be a header information about client that send to server or server to client. These information are such as Request Methods (GET, POST ,etc.), HTTP Versions (1.0,1.1,1.2), User-Agent (Mozilla/4.0, Firefox, etc.), Content-Type (application/xml, image/jpeg, text/xml, etc.), etc. I will not go into deep detail about HTTP protocol if you want more information, you can find at Wikipedia – HTTP. With these header information, ISA Server can filter HTTP traffic to allow or block specific application or traffic.
To see some sample of HTTP traffic, you can use sniffer program to capture each data packet that pass in/out a computer. The popular one is Ethereal. I have installed Ethereal on a computer which running a web server. Let see the different example of each HTTP header information below.
When client sends request to the web server by browser the Internet Explorer to http://bkkexternal (bkkexternal is the computer that runs a web server).
Detail: The request method is GET. URI is /. The User-Agent is Mozilla (compatible: MSIE 6.0).
This the response header from the above request.
Detail: The response code is 200 (OK). The server is running by Apache 2.2.4. The Content-Type is text/xml
When you submit a form on the browser to the web server.
Detail: The request method is POST. The client host is bkkmisc01. The Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Note: “/r/n” is
Configurations
To configure HTTP filter, you need to know what attribute and value need to be configured. On this post, I will show only the following:
- Block specific browser: Firefox.
- Block MSN Messenger, Windows Live Messenger.
- Block download file .torrent.
- Block AOL Messenger.
- Block Yahoo Messenger.
- Block Kazaa.
- Block free web mail. (e.g. hotmail.com, mail.yahoo.com, etc.)
- Block post on web boards.
Step-by-step
- Open Microsoft ISA Server Management Console.
- Right-click on the rule that being configured HTTP filter -> select Configure HTTP.
- Click on Signatures tab and click Add.
- Block specific browser: Firefox.
To block users to use Firefox browser by configure signature to “Firefox”, “User-Agent” in HTTP Header and Request headers in Search in.
- Block MSN Messenger, Windows Live Messenger.
To block users to use MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger.- To block MSN Messenger by configure signature to “msnmsgr.exe”, “User-Agent” in HTTP Header and Request headers in Search in.
- To block Windows Live Messenger by configure signature to “login.live.com”, “Host” in HTTP Header and Request headers in Search in.
- To block MSN Messenger by configure signature to “msnmsgr.exe”, “User-Agent” in HTTP Header and Request headers in Search in.
- Block download file .torrent.
To block download any .torrent files by configure signature to “application/x-bittorrent”, “Content-Type” in HTTP Header and Request headers in Search in.
- Block AOL Messenger.
To block users to use AOL Messenger by configure signature to “Gecko”, “User-Agent” in HTTP Header and Request headers in Search in.
- Block Yahoo Messenger.
To block users to use Yahoo Messenger by configure signature to “msg.yahoo.com”, “Host” in HTTP Header and Request headers in Search in.
- Block Kazaa.
To block users to use Kazaa by configure signature to “KazaaClient”, “User-Agent” in HTTP Header and Request headers in Search in.
- Block free web mail. (e.g. hotmail.com, mail.yahoo.com, etc.)
To block users to access free web mail, block any URL that contain string “mail” by configure on signature to mail.
- Block post on web boards.
Block users to sending any information to internet (e.g. post on web board) by configure to disallow HTTP method: POST.- Select on Methods tab and select block specified methods.
- Click Add. New window appears, type “POST” on method and enter some description.
- Don’t forget to apply the settings after configuration.
- Select on Methods tab and select block specified methods.
- If the users are blocked by HTTP filter, they will see page like the figure.
“Error Code: 500 Internal Server Error. The request was rejected by the HTTP filter.”
Summary
This is the end of this serie. After complete this serie, starting from install ISA Server, configure the network topology, configure basic rule, configure client types and configure HTTP filter, now you have basic knowledge and understanding how to operate ISA Server on your own. But there are some configurations, I don’t cover for instance how to configure cache on ISA Server, how to implement VPN, etc. If you need more information, try visit ISA Server.org
I think these tutorials may be useful for starter who want to implement Microsoft ISA Server 2006 or some administrators who want to reviews configurations. If you have any problems or any suggestion, feel free to leave some comment below.

To Whom it may concern;
I am looking to limit users to certain websites. Can you give me a detailed information on this matter. I have configured the server so I can access it to go to the internet but now I need to have only users go to certain website and I cannot figure out how to do this on an ISA 2006. FYI I am very new to ISA 2006 thanks for your help.
April 29th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
To Jim,
You can filter users by configure on a rule. On rule properties, there is a Users tab which you can add/remove a certain group or a user to use this rule.
April 29th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Hello Linglom,
I do appreciate you sending the documentation on blocking websites, But I need to add a rule to limit users to go to certain sites only. How can I do this?
Thanks Jim

hi… Linglom
How to give mail access for outlook express in ISA 2006.
July 12th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
To Adel HIgazy,
I’m not sure that ISA Server can do that. It can be but I really don’t know how.
To detect that kind of traffics, try to setup IDS in your system. The free popular one is snort.
To niraj,
Depending what kind of mail server protocol you have used (HTTP, IMAP, POP3), then simply allow that protocol.
July 29th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Anyone guide me:
I have installed ISa server 2006 in my system , it blocks my trend micro security agent, how can i allow this agent to run through isa server 2006.
August 17th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
when i block MSN Messenger by configure signature to “msnmsgr.exe” this block msnmsgr.exe and also hotmail mail access. there any soulution. to block msn access without blocking hotmail access.
thanks.
August 21st, 2008 at 10:36 pm
If you blocked only the signature “msnmsgr.exe”, you can check email on hotmail through web access. I’ve tested it.
August 27th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Hi
I really tried several ways to block yahoo messenger like : blocking YMSG protocol- blocking port 5000…5050,5150,5151,5051(both TCP and UDP inbound and outbound)-blocking by several URL’s -blocking all that I found by ISA logging feature- etc.
Thank you for this tutorial,
I did all the things you said and also I tried several signatures for Yahoo!messenger but it does not work and people in our company still can connect
the only way that works was to deny HTTPS but it will block yahoo mail also wich I don’t want to block that!
would you please help me with this issue?
This issue makes really big problem in my job
thank you so much for your kind attention.
August 28th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
In my post is the older version of Yahoo Messenger so it may not work with the latest version.
Currently, I’ve tested with Yahoo Messenger 8.1. I can block by denying outbound TCP port 5050 and everything works fine.
What is your version of Yahoo Messenger?
August 30th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Hi linglom,
Thank you for your attention.
I have the same version but mine does not work
maybe you would like to know about my network topology!
I have one Juniper SSG140 as my core router and I have isa between two virtual router!
One leg of ISA is in trust-vr as internal leg and the second one (Outgoing) is in untrust-vr!
The default route in Juniper is to forward all internet traffic to ISA!
I have one HP-DL380 (2x Quad proccessor-6GB ram) win2k3ent and ISA 2006 Std installed.
I know that I should not install ISA2006Std on a computer with more than 4 proccessor but I was not sure that 4 proccessor means Virtual proccessors or only physicals!!?!
So for assurance I tried ISA on a computer with one CPU also! everything was same!
When I enabled logging on ISA, I found that yahoo messenger first will try port 5050 and it will be blocked by ISA successfully! and then messenger try to telnet to destination server! I did block telnet too! but then messenger will try HTTPS and then it will connect under port 80!
As I want to let people to use yahoo mail I can not block HTTPS because as you know, login servers for both messenger service and mail service is same
I used Wireshark to find the application signature and I tried several signature like : msg.yahoo.com – YMSGR – mud.yahoo.com – address.yahoo.com – etc…
But all failed and does not work
It really makes me upset
Thank you again.
August 30th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
One more thing which maybe you want to know is that I have only SecureNAT clients!
August 31st, 2008 at 9:13 am
In this case, I think the problem may not be related with your network topology or client type. After I read Yahoo! Messenger Help, it seems that the application will try attempt to connect on other ports (including 80) if the 5050 fails. Therefore, there is no way to block by using rule port. (But mine works, strange!)
So I want you to try block these servers : scs.msg.yahoo.com, scsa.msg.yahoo.com, scsb.msg.yahoo.com and scsc.msg.yahoo.com. These are servers that the messenger connect to. But I haven’t tested it yet.
Reference: How do I configure my firewall/proxy server?
If the solution above doesn’t work. I think you may need to block by other means. For instance, block by using group policy (if the PC is in the domain) to restrict installing the application instead of blocking from firewall.
August 31st, 2008 at 10:35 am
Hi linlom,
I think it was best solution !
)
Thank you for your follow up.
Yesterday I spent full day to monitor yahoo messenger packets by Wireshark, and I did block these TCP ports : 20,25,23,119,5050,5150,5051.(which I found that it was right as explained in the link you provided-thank you)
It does work till now! and I hope it will
I will also try the servers and let you know the result
but I wonder why the signature did not work
I think this is because new yahoo messenger use Mozilla interface which result in changed signature! I mean the signature become Mozilla/4.0! what’s your idea?
thank you for your help and attention anyway
Now I’m working on Google Talk ,any advice will be appreciated
The signature is Google Talk in User-Agent area! but it does not work too
Have a nice day:)

Hi Linlom,
I need to allow AOL messenger access from ISA 2006, after allowing required ports and aol IM related servers, still aol clients are not getting connected,, any advice please
October 6th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Hi, Sud
I have nerver use AOL Messenger before. But after I have trying to allow it, I think you may have to disable ISA Server Firewall client on the client PC. Then, try to create a new access rule on the ISA Server to allow “AOL Instant Messenger and HTTPS” protocol and source (From) is the your client PC and destination (To) are the domain name set (*.aol.com), URL sets (http://aol.com/*) and a Computer IP (64.12.26.103). This IP, I have captured from ISA logging. But I’m not sure what it is. I think it’s one of the AOL Server.
And the second rule, you should allow DNS and NetBios Name Service protocol from AnyWhere to AnyWhere. This rule you may try to narrow down later. I’m not sure about AOL DNS Servers.
With these configuration as above, I can sign in AOL Messenger. I’ve tested already.

October 6th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Hi Linglom,
Thanks for the reply, as suggested we are not using firewall client on clients PC, as i have created a seperate rule for AOL Messenger access, the issue here is i am able to login to AOL sometime, after which it gets disconnected and need to login again, there is no time limit set and no other restriction.
October 9th, 2008 at 9:41 am
What do you mean “no time limit set and no other restriction”? Time limit in AIM? I don’t understand.
October 9th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Hi linglom,
I mean time limit and restrictions in ISA. Problem is i am not able to connect to AIM after doing all the steps mentioned by you.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I think there are other IP Addresses besides that I’ve told you before. You may need to observe in the ISA Server log for more IP Addresses that AIM use to connect to its server.

Try Bandwidth Splitter. It is a third party tool which is an extension of the ISA Server.
You can use up to 10 users for free. More than that you need to pay.

Hi Linglom,
Could you please tell me how to block skype with ISA 2006?
I already try to block in many way but still cannot.
Hope to hear the solution.
Regards,
SOPHAL.
December 11th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Hi, Sophal
Have you try to block these ports?
- Outbound port 33033
- Inbound TCP 43017
- Inbound TCP 4391
- Inbound TCP 4900 – 5100
December 11th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Hi LingLon,
I already try to block that port but still cannot.
Skype program use the random ports and also can access via HTTP and HTTPS. for the destinations also have alot for client connect. so it will be difficult to block.
Got any idea about blocking Skype program?
Regards,
SOPHAL
December 12th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
If the program can access through HTTP and HTTPS, then it’ll difficult to block it or may not be able to completely block it.
So I suggest other option which may not concern with ISA Server, you have to define your IT policy to access Internet more strict. For example:
- Do not allow user to install any third party program without authorization. This can be done by using group policy in Active Directory. You also can install an inventory software on client computers to check if they’ve installed unauthorized software on their computers.
- You can create an access rule on ISA Server to restrict outbound traffic as much you can. Limit HTTPS access to only the trust site.
- Monitor traffic on ISA Server regularly. If someone try to using skype, it’ll generate lot of outbound traffic and you’ll notice it.

hi linglom,
u’ve talk about blocking access to download file .torrent in isa 2006, but i prefer to open that port in stead, how to do?
January 11th, 2009 at 9:32 am
Hi, Rabbit
Download a .torrent file doesn’t need to open any port only allow HTTP traffic. But if you want to download file using Bittorrent software, it may depends on which software you’re using. And I’m not use Bittorrent so I can’t support in that way.

i had setup the isa server 2006 in my network…our exchange is in main office. In our office we have configured outlook 2003 for clients.
Now they cant access mail through outlook 2003. but they can access through web access…what should i do to solve the problem?
thanks

Thanks
February 8th, 2009 at 5:27 am
Hi, I followed your directions exactly as written. For a few minutes, my ISA server was able to access the internet with no problems and then I was not able to access the internet any more. I know my external interface has the correct address and DNS information. The error I am getting when I try to go to a web page is
error code: 403 forbidden. the isa server denied the specified uniform resource locator (url). (12202)
I am using the edge firewall setup.
Please help if you can or indicate what additional info you require to solve this.
Thank you,
Gary
February 8th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Hi, Gary
I’m not sure about this error. But if the error has occurred when you create a web publishing rule, you should read this thread: Error Code: 403 Forbidden. The server denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator – ISA Server.org
February 8th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Hi, Ahmad
You can customize the error pages on ISA Server. The templates are located in the folder – C:\Program Files\Microsoft ISA Server\ErrorHtmls.
February 10th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Hi,Linglom
thanks for your information.but there is problem i blocked some video and audio extension and page comes with this error.how can i change the htm page error i checked i did not find this error page 1.(Error Code: 500 Internal Server Error. The request was rejected by the HTTP filter. Contact your ISA Server administrator. (12217))
and also this error page.
2.(Error Code: 403 Internal Server Error. The request was rejected by the HTTP filter. Contact your ISA Server administrator. (12217))
thanks alote
February 10th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Dear Linglom,
i have one more problem that is.when iam going to ISA server management and then click on monitoring and then logging and on right side when iam clicking start query is shows in URL only ip not Domain name of users.
thanks
February 10th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Hi, Ahmad
For more information about customizing ISA Server’s error page, see How to Customize HTML Error Messages in ISA Server 2006 – Microsoft.com
For the second question, there are client’s IP and Username columns. Have you seen both columns in the Logging? If the Client Username column is empty, it means that the client connection isn’t authenticated with the AD that ISA Server is in.
February 11th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Dear Linglom,
Thanks for your help i really appreciat it. again a question the client user column is anonymous and i can see the client ip.
there is no option in website to send you screenshop.
thanks alote
February 12th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Hi, Ahmad
What client type you’re using? To authenticate all traffic, you’ll need to install firewall client. Also, make sure that rules that you are configured are not allow anonymous access either specify user,group or authenticated users would be sufficient.
February 12th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Dear linglom,

Dear Linglom,
In my organisation we have implementing ISA server 2006. and we have created four policys mentioned below
1. Only mail access rule – users can access the company mail only.
2.Allowed sites access rule – users can access only particular sites.
3. Access with restriction access rule – users can access al the websites except particular sites
4. Full access rule – all the websites can access.
In this scenario, only the Full access rule users can able to access the yahoo,msn and gtak etc..
but, we need to give the chat permission for mail,allowed and access with restriction user also.
how to create the policy for this senario, kindly help us.

dear linglom,
iam using ISA server 2006 and how can i allocate bandwidth to the users in ISA 2006
April 13th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Hi, ahmad (comment No.60)
To completely block messengers from ISA Server aren’t easy. Most of them now can communicate through HTTP(80) which makes them even hard to block. The best way to solve the problem is control software restriction installation on PCs. This can be achieved using Group Policy.
Hello, Ahmad (comment No.61)
To allocate bandwidth, there is a third party tool but it isn’t free. See comment No.27 of this post for the link.

Hi, I have ISA 2006 , I need to block users from downloading files from the internet , please your help
June 26th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Hi, Amol
There is no way to completely block these proxy websites. You have to block them manually so you have to update rules regularly.
Hi, Sathish
See Part III: Create Firewall Policy Rule
Hi, Kotb
See comment 64 for blocking Yahoo Messenger. To block downloading files, you can block certain extensions such as zip, rar, exe, etc. Right-click on the rule -> select Configure HTTP -> select Extensions tab -> add extensions that you want.

Dear linglom,
thanks for providing such step by step configuration.
would appreciate if you guys can teach us how to configure VPN so that local users can use internet only by using the VPN by typing their password and Id which is alloted by the administrator.
Thanks

Hi, Fahim Khan
Outlook express clients can access via HTTP,POP3 and IMAP protocols. You can configure which protocol to use in mail account properties on Outlook express. Then, you simply create an access rule which allows the protocol on ISA Server.
For example, I create a mail account on Outlook express and select an incoming server as HTTP (hotmail.com). Then, I create an access rule on ISA Server to allow HTTP traffic. Now, I can send or receive e-mail on the account.
July 14th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
To allow the outlook express through the ISA server. u need to create a Access rule for allow the Outlook or Outllok Express. Example Below.
In the ISA server console.
Right click the Firewall policy -> New ->Access Rule
In the name window type the rule name. Eg .mail allow
next in the Rule action window select Allow.
In the protocol window Select protocols under the This rules apply to. click add in the commom protocol select POP3 and SMTP click next
Access rules source window select INTERNAL Next
Access rules destination window select EXTERNAL click next
in the user sets click next thats all.

I didn’t sure about Yahoo Messenger. But for MSN Messenger, try this for HTTP filter:
# Search in: Request headers
# HTTP header: User-Agent:
# Signature: Windows Live Messenger
And create another rule with these configure:

Any idea how to block users using windows update with isa2006 ?
We set up a rule that blocks *.windowsupdate.* , but that didn’t work , in the logs we see that users still have access to au.download.windowsupdate.com ?! Could this be a syntax problem ? What would be the syntax to block all windows update sites ? Somebody got experience with this please ? ( gpo’s can do the trick , I know , but we got a customer who doesn’t allow us to use a gpo for this. )
Thanks in advance,
Olivier
October 30th, 2009 at 10:00 am
Hi, ovanoudenhove
Did the denied rule is above the allowed rule? ISA Server process rules from top to bottom. If its criteria match a rule, it won’t process any rule under the match rule.
You should observe any URL while it is updating to check if it access other URL besides the one that you had blocked. Then, you go update the blocked rule.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
The deny rule was put above the allow rule. But somehow it did not hit that deny rule. So it seems our *.windowsupdate.* deny-rule , did not catch au.download.windowsupdate.com.
Meanwhile we have split the filter into *.windowsupdate.com and au.download.windowsupdate/* , and afetr setting this , blocking Windows update seems to work for now. It seems like ISA 2006 does not like the ‘*.somthing.*’ notation.
Now let’s hope they don’t change that Windows update URL again

November 4th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Hi, Nandha
ISA Server may block that traffic so you must to create an access rule to allow the traffic. I recommend you read this topic – Publishing Exchange Server 2007 with ISA Server 2006.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:35 pm

November 4th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Hi, Ahmad
Sorry, I don’t know how to block Skype on ISA Server. It seems that Skype has many servers and uses dynamic port while communicate with servers. So I think it’s too difficult to block it on ISA Server.

December 30th, 2009 at 9:02 am
Hi, Ahmad
Access rules on ISA Server are processed from top to bottom. If it matches a criteria on a rule, it will stop process other rules which are below the rule.
Hi, imu
You can block specific extensions by open configure HTTP policy for rule -> Select extensions tab -> Select Block specified extensions (allow all others) -> Then you can add the extensions that you want to block such as .exe, .mp3, etc.

January 24th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
I created Allow Rule for http port 80 and https port 443 for users. They access the interent okay, but they are having the problem that sometimes internet connection drops for few minutes and the interent connection just comes back online by itself or by restart the ISA server. They don’t have constant interent connection.
What is the problem? What procedure need to be check to see why the internet connection is droped?
January 25th, 2010 at 11:15 am
Hi, EmDep
You should check the Internet link between ISA Server and your ISP to see if it drop or not. Sometimes, it could be hardware problem.
If that is not the case, try to check system log on ISA Server. If there is a problem with the server, you will see some error message there.

Try to create an access rule allowing HTTP and HTTPS protocols.

June 7th, 2010 at 10:43 am
Hi, Nandha
I suggest you check Logging on the ISA Server to see if there is any blocked traffic when you try to register a product. Normally, allow these 2 protocols should be fine.

Dear Linglom,
can you guide me how to publish a local sharing website website on windows server 2003 supporting with ISA2006
June 10th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Dear Linglom,
we have two ISA servers in our network
1. ISA 2000 on windows 2003 server R2. 192.168.1.33 8080
2. ISA 2006 on windows 2003 server R2. 192.168.1.34 8080
All the clients can access internet using proxy address of either isa 2000 or isa 2006 without any problem.
on Isa 2000 server I can access internet by writing isa 2006′s proxy address in internet explorer and it works , all other servers in our network can access any one of the proxy server without any issue.
but from Isa 2006 server I am not able to access internet by writing the proxy address of isa 2000 server while if I put its own ip it works fine.
i hope you can understand the problem.Inshort ISA 2006 server is not able to access internet from isa 2000 server and the only way it is possible is by turning all ISA sevices off on isa 2006.
Is there any way i can access internet on isa 2006 server using proxy address of isa 2000 withour turning isa services off..
thanking in advance

Any help? i’m using ISA server 2006
June 18th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
Hi, Imran
I have no experience with previous version of ISA Server 2006. But I suggest you to check Logging on ISA Server 2006 to see if it is blocking traffic or not.
Hi, Souna
Do you have active directory (AD) in your network? If so, using windows authentication is recommend. See Getting started with Microsoft ISA Server 2006, Part 8: Create Web Access Rule for an example of how to create an access rule for specific user in domain.

Hello Nandha,
how can i blocked facebook, orkut, game chating, sex site, in only one access deny rule. i have isa std etd.
waiting for your reply.
Thanks
August 23rd, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Dear Santosh
first creat the Domain list for facebook, Orkut, game chating, sex sites.
For crating Domain name list
Goto Firewall Management console –> Right side Toolbox –> Click New –> Select Domain Name list
–> In the name type (Any name ) –> click Add *.facebook.com again click add *.orkut.com and OK
now create a rule for Firewall Policy.
Right click firewall policy– > Select New and Access Rule –> Type the Name you want –> then Next –> Rule action window Select DENY and next
–> Protocol window select HTTP and HTTPS and Next –> In the Access Rule source window select INTERNAL and Next –> In Access Rule Destinations window Select (Created DOMAIN SET) and Next
–> In the user set (select all user or crate some users for set of users) and next.
For deny the sexual sites:
You cannot deny all the sexual sits, for that u have to configure HTTP Signature.
After the Rule created, select the rule and right click select Configure HTTP select Signature Tab
click add type any name for your reference.
in the Search in window select either select REQUEST URL or REQUEST BODy and In the Signature window
type PORN, GAY, LESBIAN or SEX and give OK
Note : This HTTP signature will only applicable on ALLOW RULE.
I am not understand about the game chating
August 23rd, 2010 at 4:31 pm
I want to say online game & chating.
can u please tell me the difference between domain name set & url set.
Thanks for your support.
August 23rd, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Dear Santosh
The difference between Domain set and URL set is, if you want to block the only speific URL means we can
use the URLlist.
Ex. you want to block http://www.google.com, it will block only http://www.google.com for the client request and it will not
blocl http://mail.google.com or http://msdn.microsoft.com. what URl you given that only will be block
Domain name list means will block the entire domain *.google.com, the * will use for including subdomains of google.
This is the difference, will you understand.
For online gaming: use HTTP signature to block, if you know the WEB URL, you can use either Domain or URL set for that.
Thanks

I have an new isa server 2006 with 2 nics internal network 192.168.0.187 gateway is the internal ip address of my sonicwall 192.168.0.254. dns is my DC192.168.0.181 2nd nic is 192.168.1.1 gateway is 192.168.1.254 the internal ip of my x2port setup as a DMZ on sonicwall. the LAn cable frm server is going into the x2 port per sonicwall. I installed ISA and i used the edge template(is this wrong) I can ping my DC 192.168.0.181 and all other machines from the ISA server. NO machine can ping the ISA server now successfully from the internal network. When I installed ISA i noticed it asked me for info on my internal network but no where did i enter information for the perimeter network. Obvously i have misconfigured something. Im pretty sure it is not the sonicwall becasue traffic created when DC 192.168.0.181 is pinging 192.168.0.187 does not even go through the sonicwall at all. HELPPP My ultimate goeal is to setup ISA 2006 for windows communications 2007 edge server.

Gotta love this site, the info is priceless. I come here all the time.
February 19th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
Hi Amit,
Using Group poliy you can achieve this. Goto User configuration/Windows settings/Internet Ecpolrer manitenance/Connections/proxy settings/ enable proxy settings and add Network address or Hostname you wat to exclude in the Exclution list
Eg : 172.30.1.100;localhost;192*.*.*;172*.*.*;10*.*;11*.*;11.11.10.10;w3*;172.30.1.16;*.nandha.com
February 19th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
Hi Tralsi.
If you create any rule for FTP in ISA, bydefault it will allow users to download the files from FTP server and will not allow to upload.
Goto FTP policy- right Click and select Configure FTP -> uncheck the Read only option and apply OK. It will work after that.
February 19th, 2011 at 8:53 pm
Hi Santosh,
For troubleshoot if any website is getting (default) block by isa server. open the management server console->Monitoring-> select Logging Tab in the right side->In the Task select Edit filter-? in the edit filter window select Client IP in Filter By-> Select Equals under Conditions -> and type the IP Address which you want to monitor in value window -> then click Add to List and press Start Query. Now monitor the each packets from client ip to isa server. From there you can find the error in Red color.
February 19th, 2011 at 9:12 pm
Hi Amit,
Using ISA server will bypass local host –> Goto management console- Expand the server ->select networks under Configuration ->Select Internal in the right side window and right click select properties-> go to web browser Tab. Put the tick mark in Bypass proxy for web servers in this network, Directly access computers specified in the Domain tab and tick mark to Directly access computers specified in the Address tab and specied the server’s IP or hostname in the below window.

Hi Nandha
I want to delete the browsing history of client machine in isa 2006 server,
June 18th, 2011 at 11:53 am
Hi Santosh,
If you want to delete the Internet history of your clients machine, you have to delete from Internet explorer–> Tools–>Internet options–> delete option under Browsing history.
It will remove all the internet cache and history of your clients machine.
There is no other option in ISA client end for remove this

I wanted to write you this tiny note to thank you very much over again considering the awesome information you have provided in this case. It was simply open-handed with people like you in giving publicly exactly what most of us could have advertised for an electronic book to help make some money for themselves, most notably seeing that you might well have tried it if you wanted. The principles in addition worked to become easy way to know that the rest have the same dreams just like mine to know the truth somewhat more in terms of this condition. Im certain there are lots of more pleasant occasions ahead for many who start reading your site.
