Configure how to redirect HTTP requests for Web publishing rules

To configure how to redirect HTTP requests for Web publishing rules

In the console tree of ISA Server Management, click Firewall Policy.
In the details pane, click the applicable Web publishing rule.
On the Tasks tab, click Edit Selected Rule.
On the Bridging tab, select whether the request will be redirected to an FTP server or to a Web server. Select one of the following:
- FTP server. If you select this option, in the text box, type the port on the FTP server to which the request will be redirected.
- Web server.
If you select Web server:
- If HTTP requests will be passed to the Web server using the HTTP protocol, click Redirect requests to HTTP port.
- If HTTP requests will be passed to the Web server using HTTPS, click Redirect requests to SSL port.
(Optional) If you selected Redirect requests to SSL port, click Use a certificate to authenticate to the SSL Web server and click Select to select the certificate to use.

Notes

To open ISA Server Management, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft ISA Server, and then click ISA Server Management.
For ISA Server 2006 Enterprise Edition, expand Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006, expand Arrays, expand Array_Name, and then click Firewall Policy.
For ISA Server 2006 Standard Edition, expand Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006, expand Server_Name, and then click Firewall Policy.

Important

If you selected Redirect requests to SSL port, the ISA Server computer will open a new secure control channel to the published Web server.
When you select to redirect Web server requests to both HTTP and SSL ports, incoming traffic is routed through the appropriate protocol and port. When you select only one option, all traffic is routed through that port.
If you select FTP server in step 4, ISA Server will not perform link translation.
After you click Apply in the details pane, the policy is updated. The new policy applies only to new connections.
