Note:

For more information about server farms, see About server farms. For more information about Web listeners, see Web listener overview. The internal site name must be resolvable to an IP address. Forefront TMG automatically creates a link translation mapping between the internal site name and the first public name specified in the rule. This mapping is used to translate links that use the internal site name to reference the server farm on Web pages and in e-mail messages that external users may receive. By default, Forefront TMG changes the original Host header supplied by a browser application to a Host header corresponding to the internal site name. When publishing over SSL, an SSL server certificate that was issued to the public host name of the published Web site must be installed in the Personal store for the local computer on the Forefront TMG computer. If the Web publishing rule requires an SSL connection between the Forefront TMG computer and a member of the published server farm, a unique server certificate with a name corresponding to the name or IP address of the server can be installed on each member of the published server farm, or the same certificate with a name corresponding to the internal site name can be installed on all members of the server farm. For more information about obtaining and installing SSL server certificates, see Configuring server certificates for secure Web publishing. You can configure the way in which credentials are passed to the published server in a Web publishing rule. For more information, see Delegation of credentials. Web publishing rules match incoming client requests to the appropriate Web site on the Web server. You can create Web publishing rules that deny traffic, to block incoming traffic that matches the rule conditions. Forefront TMG 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. For more information about other settings in Web publishing rules, see Planning for publishing.
