If you have the opportunity to use IAG then do it.
I disagree with the term SSL VPN,...it may be SSL but there is nothing "VPN"
about it,...it is a marketing term. What IAG does really in no way
resembles anything close to what RRAS does or ISA Publishing features do.
It is a complete, total "apples and oranges", there is no direct comparison.
What AIG does is more similar to a Citrix setup with their web interface
that makes individual Applications available to user with a web browser.
I don't know anything about SharePoint. Other than it being a glorified web
site, I know "zero" about it.

Hi,
I'm getting ready to expose my SharePoint farm for remote access from the
Internet. Everything I read about setting up a SharePoint extranet
topology
points to using a reverse proxy like ISA server or a SSL VPN appliance to
front-end everything. (BTW, currently, we have only PPTP/IPSEC VPN into
our
RRAS box which is a IAS (RADIUS) client.) I'm debating whether to push to
replace RRAS with a SSL VPN appliance - maybe Microsoft's IAG - or just an
ISA server in reverse proxy mode. But my question is what is the
effective
difference in terms oif security between an SSL VPN appliance vs putting
an
SSL server certificate on an ISA box? Is that the way I would set up
ISA -
with a server cert? Do they both create an encryption tunnel for
authentication and data stream? From a remote client browser point of
view,
both would behave the same, right - i.e., just use "HTTPS" in the URL.
Thanks for helping me understand what approach to take.
