Configure path mapping

To configure path mapping

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 Paths tab, click Add.
In the text box, type the path on the (published) Web server.
Select one of the following:
- Same as published folder. If the path specified in the request is identical to the path on the published Web server.
- The following folder. If the path specified in the request will be mapped to the path that you specify in the text box. Type the path to which requests on the published Web server will be mapped.

Notes

For more information about Web publishing, see Web Publishing Concepts in ISA Server 2006 at the Microsoft ISA Server TechCenter Web site (http://www.microsoft.com).
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

When a client makes a Web request, a path may be specified as part of the request. This is called the external path. ISA Server modifies all external paths listed here to the corresponding internal path on the Web server.
When you specify the internal path to which the request should be mapped, use this format: /mypath/*.
You cannot use a wildcard character in the path. For example, do not specify mypath*/ or /mypath*.
Avoid specifying a file name when you configure path mapping. If a file name is specified, only a request for the full path will be served.
Paths must be distinct from each other. A path cannot be a prefix of another path. This is true for internal and external paths. For example, /pathA/* and /pathB/* are distinct paths. However /pathA/* is a prefix for /pathA/a/ and ISA Server will not allow both of those paths to be entered.
ISA Server does not treat paths as case sensitive. If your Web server includes both foldera and folderA, and you publish a path to one of the folders, both folders will be published.
After you click Apply in the details pane, the policy is updated. The new policy applies only to new connections.
