How do I enable outbound HTTP requests via ISA?
July 16, 2000
A. After installing ISA you will find you can no longer read in pages from a remote website even after configuring the web client with the proxy details. This isbecause you require a filter to allow requests to port 80 (HTTP):
Start the ISA Admin tool (Start - Programs - Microsoft ISA Server - ISA Administration Tool)
Expand the Arrays, the specific array, Access Policy
Select IP Packet Filters
Right click New and select Filter
Enter a filter name, e.g. HTTP and click Next
Select if this filter will apply to just the local server or all in the array. Click Next
The filter options are displayed
- Allow packet transmission
- Block packet transmission
Select Allow and click NextSelect the Custom filter type and click Next
Now you must select the Filter details:
- IP Protocol : TCP
- Direction: Both
- Local Port: Dynamic (1025-5000)
- Remote Port: Fixed port, Port number 80
