Forefront TMG cache rules specify the types of content stored in the cache, and how objects are served from the cache. You can configure cache rules using the New Cache Rule Wizard, as follows:
Configuring cache rules
To configure cache rules
-
In the Forefront TMG Management console, in the tree, click the Web Access Policy node.
-
On the Tasks tab, click Configure Web Caching.
-
On the Cache Rules tab, click New. Follow the instructions in the wizard, and note the following:
- On the Cache Content page, by selecting to cache
Dynamic content, if the source and request headers indicate
caching, Forefront TMG will cache retrieved objects even if they
are marked as not cacheable.
- On the Cache Content page, by selecting to cache
Content requiring user authentication for retrieval, if the
source and request headers indicate caching, Forefront TMG will
cache content requested by authenticated users. Content is then
served from the cache without verifying access permissions, and
non-authenticated users may be able to access it.
- On the Cache Advanced Configuration page, the setting
Cache SSL Responses applies to SSL bridged traffic. SSL
tunneled traffic is not cached. This means that you can cache SSL
traffic in reverse caching scenarios, in which internal Web sites
are published over SSL, and the SSL request is terminated on the
Forefront TMG firewall. Outgoing SSL requests to the Internet
cannot be cached.
- On the HTTP Caching page, the setting Set TTL of
objects (% of the content age) instructs Forefront TMG to keep
HTTP objects valid in the cache according to TTL settings. TTL
settings are based on the TTL defined in the response header, and
the TTL boundaries defined in the cache rule. The percent of the
content age is a percentage of the time of the content's existence.
The higher the percentage, the less frequently the cache is
updated.
- On the Cache Content page, by selecting to cache
Dynamic content, if the source and request headers indicate
caching, Forefront TMG will cache retrieved objects even if they
are marked as not cacheable.
