Get Used to IAG 2007
I’ve being studying about IAG with one of our IAG SME (Subject Matter Expert) for a couple of weeks and I’m really fascinated on the capabilities and the power that this application has. I don’t want to reinvent the wheel here and explain what the IAG is, because there is a really good sequence of articles written by Dr. Thomas Shinder that explains that really well. Here it is:
The Microsoft Intelligent Application Gateway 2007 (IAG 2007) Part 1: SSL VPN 101
The Microsoft Intelligent Application Gateway 2007 (IAG 2007) Part 2: IAG Connectivity Options
With that you can start learn more about the product, but if you want to really dive on this subject, download the virtual lab that has a DC with Exchange and Sharepoint on it, IAG 2007 and a XP Client connected to the External Interface. The following features are explained on this lab:
• SSL VPN
• Policy-based Secure Access
• End-point Security Management
As I said on the title, you better get used to this product because it is a powerful tool that allows alignment of security and accessibility from anywhere.
