Most of those types of things fail to interact with the proxy properly.
With
ISA it is much better to install the Firewall Client software and tell
iChat
to "not" use a proxy. This allows the Firewall Client to handle all the
proxy activity transparently on behalf of iChat.
Philip: I am not looking to get into a non-productive "back and forth"
with
you, but I am not aware of a firewall client for the Mac. If you know of
one, kindly point me to the site.
Nonproductive back-and-forth? All I am doing is explaining the
characteristics of how ISA works. That's what I do here. There was once a
Socks Client for MACs and I believe it only worked on the native MAC OS 9
and earlier, but probably not the new Linux based OS. This Client worked
with the old MS Proxy2 and was used mostly for running FTP Clients. I don't
believe there is anything that will work for ISA.
The Firewall Client would be required for TCP or UDP on 5678
I disagree. Our Macs are web proxy clients, not securenat and I am able to
provide access to dozens of applications.
The original thread was Dec 17, 2007, after that amount of time past and
hundreds of threads and posts later,...I managed to forget that we were
talking about a client with a MAC OS.
Ok, so, no matter the OS, Web Proxy Clients can use HTTP (any port), HTTPS
(443 only), and FTP (read-only, no uploads). That is based on the CERN
Compliant Web Proxy Standard (which ISA complies with) and is not anything
unique to ISA itself. Anything beyond that requires either the Firewall
[Winsock] Client (Windows OS only) or SecureNAT Clients (any OS but limited
to anonymous connection only).
The Web Proxy Service and the Firewall [Winsock] Service are limited to only
TCP or UDP. They are "proxy based" services.
The SecureNAT Service can do any protocols beyond TCP or UDP that is
"NAT-able" such as ICMP and GRE. This is a "NAT based" service and is not
capable of authentication so is limited to only "anonymous" Access Rules.
