Hi:

I´m having the following  problem ,  i   have an isa server 2004 , and we have some deny rules  to some sites,  like youtube  and  some other  tubes or porn sites,  and  it works fine  with IE ,  but i  installed  recently  firefox 3.0  to probe how it work and  my surprise was that  none of the  sites that were bloked on IE , are blocked on Firefox i can navigate on  all this sites.

Does anyone  has similar  issues ,   its  important  becouse as soon as more people find out about this , this  could become an issue

Thanks in advance  for any  information

Hi Luis,

What ISA clients are you using? i.e. Firewall, SecureNAT, Web Proxy

Can you post the details of one of your deny access rules?

Sure:

In almost all the computers we have a firewall client installed, versión 4.0 , so IE  takes the configuration parameters from the client ,  but in the case of  firefox  there´s something weird ,  the browser has the no proxy option , and its able to  navigate , i cheked the configuration on my pc , and its not configured as a secure NAt ,  it has a firewall client installed.

On the firewall  i have  one rule ,  that  denys  http,   from internal client  to a  object  called deny domain ,  where  i put  all the  doamins we are preventing  from accessing

Now i have this other question , how its posible that  the  firefox  works, i guess as a nat client , when  the pc  its not configured that way

I hope this information help .

Ok Luis, that helps some. Sounds like that your FW clients are bypassing the Web proxy. Check the HTTP protocol and make sure the Web proxy filter is enabled and bound the the HTTP protocol.

It's possible because you're using the ISA FW client which gives the PC client Winsock application access to the Internet through ISA using possibly any protocol. Using the FW and SecureNAT Client can be a big security concern if not properly controlled through the firewall policy and by defining the Firewall client application settings found under the General tab in the ISA MMC.

Luis,

If you really want to make you out to be the enemy with your end-users, (After you get the FW clients from bypassing ISA) you can put the whammy on FireFox by adding a HTTP signature filter.
