Configuration Manager Internet-Based Client Management via TechNet
Blogs by WEMD UA - SMS Writing Team on 7/2/08 I’m delighted to let you
know that the ISA Server documentation team has just published How to
Configure ISA SSL Bridging for System Center Configuration Manager
Internet-Based Client Management.

This has been a joint collaboration between the ISA Server product
group and the Configuration Manager product group – and special thanks
to Jim Harrison (ISA Server PM), Nathan Bigman (ISA Server Content
Publishing Manager), and Adam Meltzer (Configuration Manager test
engineer).

I would also like to add my thanks to our ISA friends and reviewers:
· Jason Jones (ISA expert from Silverlands Limited, with his own blog
at http://ping.fm/CAxtV)
· Tom Shinder (ISA MVP, consultant, trainer, author of many
best-selling books and articles – check out
http://ping.fm/n0suX)

This article has step-by-step instructions for publishing an
Internet-based site system server behind ISA, and using SSL to SSL
bridging (also known as symmetric bridging). It lists the requirements
for the instructions to be successful, and then takes you through the
processes of creating a security group for ISA to use, deploying a
client certificate for the Internet-based clients, deploying the
certificates for ISA, and configuring ISA for Web publishing on ISA
Server 2006. The appendixes have additional information for how to
create a certificate template, the equivalent configuration steps for
ISA Server 2004, and how to configure server publishing (SSL tunneling)
as an alternative solution to SSL bridging.

If you have questions or feedback about this documentation, you can
send it to both ISADocs@Microsoft.com and SMSDocs@Microsoft.com. For
technical issues, I encourage you to use the community resources that
are included in the document.

Thank you for everybody who requested this documentation. I hope that
the instructions will help you to be successful with Internet-based
client management in ISA Server environments!
