URL not showing in logging - 19.Aug.2008 10:34:10 AM

Hi

ISA Server 2006 Standard with XP clients.

I have just noticed that my Internet Access rule has stopped showing the URL's that the users have accessed in the logging tab. Any ideas?

Action: Allow
Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP
From: Internal
To: External
User: All Users

The ISA server is on a domain and is used (at the moment just as a web proxy). I have also noticed that user names are appearing as HomerS (?)

Thanks
Tony

Have you recently started using the Firewall client by any chance?

The 'username (?)' entries show that users are using the firewall client but the ISA rules are not configured to specifically require authentication.

Hi Jason and thanks

I have just installed firewall client, but on my machine only, and I have my rule allow All Users and All Authenticated Users. This is only as a test. When I get it working then I will remove All Users.

I am more concerned as to why nothing is showing in the URL or Referral Server columns when I am monitoring the rule. I there some setting I have missed?

Make sure that the Firewall client settings configure the Web Proxy client configuration on the client machines.

are you using a single NIC? If so, you have to create access rules from Internal to Internal.

Hi Paulo,

Good point. Since there isn't any external network, rules are always made from internal to internal.

Thanks!
Tom
