Client Address Sets

[isha]

I want to know the importance of Client Address Sets in ISA Server. If we do not create Client Address Sets, the Internet & mail at the Clients will function or not. Any one who can put some light is welcome.

U need it so ISA will know where and who to direct the traffic to. W/O the client address the ISA will not know where to direct requests to. Having client addresses enables u to easily distinquish where ur requests are heading (assuming u gave them a good name).

Client address sets are usually used by SecureNAT clients to get through the proxy. Since SecureNAT clients cannot use user or group-based authentication, you can set up access rules based on IP addresses to give them access to whatever. I use client address sets so that my internal Linux servers can get through the proxy for certain services on the Internet.

For example, if I wanted all of my Unix clients to be able to browse the web through the proxy, I would create a client address set of my Unix workstations IP addresses and then create a rule that says that these IP addresses can access outbound HTTP.
