Anonymouse Using an Authenticated Rule - 3.Feb.2006 9:29:04 PM

hi ,

today while i was monitoring the isa server , i was shocked to see Authenticated Rules being used by anonymouse users !!!

i have a Rule for the IT Dep users :

Action : Allow
Protocols : All Outbound Protocols
From : Internal
To : External
Condition : IT_Dep_Grp

the users inside the IT_Dep_Grp are users from the active directory from my domain.

i dont understand how anonymouse users are being ALLOWED to use such a rule ??

any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Show us the log entries that prove it. Secure Sockets don't count. :p

Thank you Elmajdal for uploading the image.

and Thank you LLigetfa,
but what i am shocked from is that users has rule to allow them to use HTTPS , so why they r accessing the first rule in my rule orders ?

sometimes i see them with Failed Connection , and then below this , connection is Allow with a different rule that doesnt authenticate them to use it !!!

why secure sockets dont count ???

what if i want to use a Whitelist HTTPS access ?? then will it be useless , and users will still be able to use the IT Rule which permits everything ??

Hi ITEngineer,

maybe the article http://www.isaserver.org/articles/ISA2004_AccessRules.html could be of any help.

HTH,
Stefaan

Well... never trust what you read, especially on the internet. :p
SSL does not count because the SSL packets are encrypted so the username cannot be garnered for the log. Test it for yourself.

hi Stefaan ,

i always search and read all the available articles before posting questions here

and ur article was one of the first i read.

i understand rule processing order and thats why i was amazed of seeing anonymouse using a rule Authenticating particular users !!

Yes it is misleading...
When I first saw it on my rules, I wondered about it too and tested it thoroughly just to be sure.

You would have to ask Microsoft why they did it that way.

the subject of the topic was interesting and grapped my eyes , i started the monitoring and for the first time i see this is true with me also in one of my LANs ( didnt examine the others yet ).

Glad to hear that its just a LOG but not an actual situation were an anonymouse is using an Authenticated Rule !!!

so here is the question , is there other LOGs that also do not relate to a real situation

I was wondering myself how annoymous users were getting Allowed Connections on an Authenticated rule. :P

My question is though, will this access be picked up on an inbuilt report? Just trying at the moment to clean up the reports to minimise the occurance of IPs in the list instead of usernames...
