Forefront UAG
The document discusses SharePoint and Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG), detailing network infrastructure concepts such as LANs and WANs, and how SharePoint can be used as a portal for various access scenarios. It covers topics like DMZ for added security, the role of UAG in providing remote access, and configuration considerations for setting up a secure SharePoint environment. Key components including authentication methods, server certificates, and network topology awareness are emphasized for effective deployment and management.

Business and government entities utilize WAN to relay data among employees, clients, buyers, and suppliers from various geographical locations. In essence this mode of telecommunication allows a business to effectively carry out its daily function regardless of location. WAN

- 22. • A DMZ,or De Militarized Zone, is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization's external services to a larger untrusted network, usually the Internet. It is sometimes referred to as a perimeter network. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization's local area network (LAN); an external attacker only has access to equipment in the DMZ, rather than any other part of the network.

- 39. • Configure theInternal NIC – No Gateway – Register the connection in DNS • Check your static route to internal nic • Change the binding order • Check routes ADDRESSING UAG
- 40. • You canassociate a Web application with a collection of mappings between internal and public URLs. • Alternate access mappings enable a Web application that receives a request for an internal URL, in one of the five authentication zones, to return pages that contain links to the public URL for the zone. • The UAG server responds with identical content, even though external users submit a different protocol (HTTPS) and a different host header than internal users. • Alternate access mappings to allow the SharePoint server to perform URL changes on its own. This ensures that reverse proxies, such as UAG, do not have to change the content of the pages they serve to external sources. ADDRESSING SHAREPOINT: AAM – ALTERNATE ACCESS MAPPINGS
- 41. • The UAGportal is an ASP.Net-based Web application using AJAX, and is the front-end Web application for UAG • A UAG portal trunk is a transfer channel that allows endpoints to connect to the trunk’s portal home page over HTTP or HTTPS. You can also create a redirect trunk that redirects HTTP endpoint requests to an HTTPS trunk. • Each trunk has a portal home page to which remote endpoints connect to interact with the trunk, and access published applications. • For each trunk UAG adds the Portal application to the trunk in order to provide a default home page. Alternatively, you can define a customized home page. UAG PORTALS AND TRUNKS
- 42. • Each Webapp is associated with a unique public-facing host name, which is used to access the application remotely. • A Web app that is published through the Forefront UAG trunk shares the trunk's definitions in addition to some of the trunk's functionality, such as the logon and logoff pages. • This means that the application's public host name must reside under the same parent domain as the trunk's public host name; that is, the application and the trunk are subdomains of the same parent domain. ADDRESSING SHAREPOINT: PUBLIC HOST NAMES

Forefront UAG trunk’s publichost name Trunk’s parent domain Examples of valid public host names for Web app Examples of non valid public host names for Web app uag.woodgrovebank.co m woodgrovebank.co m hrportal.woodgrovebank.com hrportal.a.b.woodgrovebank.co m hrportal.uag.woodgrovebank.co m hrportal.com uag.ext.example.com ext.example.com hrportal.ext.example.com hrportal.a.b.ext.example.com hrportal.uag.ext.example.com hrportal.com hrportal.example.com ADDRESSING SHAREPOINT: PUBLIC HOST NAMES
- 44. • All thepublic host names that are used in the trunk should be covered by this certificate, including the trunk's public host name and the public host names of all the applications that are accessed via the trunk. ADDRESSING SHAREPOINT AND UAG: SERVER CERTIFICATES

- 46. • UAG isa way to go for extranets for a highly secure deployment • Big ROI for its other uses, as well as SP • Know your network infrastructure • Plan your SP install • Access to the local UAG server • Know your risks CONCLUSION
