Server publishing processes incoming requests to internal servers, such as Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) servers, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers, Structured Query Language (SQL) servers, and others. Requests are forwarded downstream to an internal server, located behind the ISA Server computer. Server publishing rules determine how server publishing functions, essentially filtering all incoming and outgoing requests through the ISA Server computer.
A server publishing rule uses Secure Network Address Translation (SecureNAT), that substitutes a global IP address, which is valid on the Internet, for an internal IP address. The FPCServerPublishingRule object maps an external Internet Protocol (IP) address and a port slot on an ISA computer to an internal IP address. Requests received on the external IP address will be redirected to the internal IP address. Only requests that are identified as part of the designated protocol will be redirected to the internal server.
Publishing rules cannot be created at the enterprise level. However, the enterprise administrator can specify, by using the FPCEnterprise.AllowPublishing property, whether an array is allowed to publish servers. If the array is allowed to publish, the array administrator can create Web publishing rules (FPCWebPublishingRule object) or server publishing rules (FPCServerPublishingRule object). If the enterprise policy does not allow publishing, then an attempt to add a Web or server publishing rule will return an error message.
This object is a member of the FPCServerPublishingRules collection.
