Which product replace TMG functionality?

Hi,
I have several customers that wanted to deploy TMG Server as a web proxy/firewall back-end, but we all know that TMG is dieing? Which product offers exactly the same functionalities?
Cristian L Ruiz

@Denis: You make some very good points here which I agree to - yet there are some specialities of TMG that have to be taken into account:
In our corporation TMG has filled other gaps than that of a traditional proxy only (we have separate content filter systems for regular web and e-mail traffic):
1. A useful helper to cope with the "stubborn" apps. Although .NET is finally improving things a bit yet still there are so many little and bigger developer studios with specialized LOB applications that just aren't able to properly cope with an
NTLM proxy. And even in .NET it is not a given that people use the DefaultNetworkCredentials of the CredentialCache. I strongly believe in role-based concepts and sticking permissions to users, not IPs and have people and part-time workers moving
around; so the TMG Client enables those problematic applications to still get online even as they do not support NTLM proxy servers.
2. Publishing. TMG has become the enabler of a kind of enterprise portal with several web sites/applications published for employees and specific partners. This includes EAS, RDWeb, OWA and several IIS sites. I should also mention that most of them are "full-featured"
- using Kerberos Constrained Delegation to cope eg. with double hop problems to the SQL backends and to ensure that the best security protocol in use. Exchange for example is mapped to different hostnames to enable testing/transitioning from account-based
EAS to certificate-based EAS.
3. The VPN functionality (using PEAP) has solved many remote access needs for certain managers and partners where stuff like our Cisco VPN Client just was to clumsy and maintenance-intensive on uncontrolled/unknown PCs. It's a pity what happened to PPP and
that people don't differentiate between PAP/CHAP and PEAP/EAP-TLS yet I agree, something has to be done here in the near future.
Point 3 is quite obvious and I have no doubt that almost any NGFW or whatever product can solve this. What we regrettably lose is a comfort/"out-of-the-box" experience - VPN clients can be a challenge of their own, especially when multiple products
reside on the same machine (as with partners that have to support multiple customers with different VPN systems). And the clients need to be NAT-safe (UDP encapsulated or HTTPS).
But I'm a bit doubtful/hesitant about 1 and 2:
Point 1 needs some kind of client software provided by the NGFW manufacturer to force WinSOCK API calls over the NGFW proxy instead of trying to go directly. It seems Barracuda has something like this but I haven't tested it yet/haven't checked to what degree.
This can certainly be solved in other but clumsy and maintenance-intensive ways like establishing a proxy service on a different port with only Basic Auth and requiring to configure all of these LOB apps manually.
Point 2 is probably the most difficult to solve. I'm not sure which of the manufactures provide proper KCD support, multiple listeners with different auth schemes for different scenarios and mapping single hosts in different ways. And if such a product exists
can we afford it on our tight budget?
We are currently in progress migrating our Cisco PIX to Barracuda NG but still struggle with our partner to get the simple stuff (firewall rules) right so it remains to be seen what Barracuda can do for us on the TMG side. It may take some months or a year
but I could let you know how we fared then.
It just makes me a little bit nervous when people like KEMP have a TMG deprecation webcast about 2 months ago yet can't show their security module with Kerberos support which was at that time "under development" :-) Technical realities and requirements
often collide with marketing brochures ...
Sincerely
Markus

  • Editing (or replacing) a function

    TLDR: I'd like to edit a line of code inside of a function. Is editing the code and then running the CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION command basically the same thing as editing the function?
    A user is receiving the following error message while running a report in Business Objects. Here is the error message:
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: number precision too large :ORA-06512: at "GUI.PR_OMIT", line 30 :ORA-06512: at line 1 :-6502So I opened up the function GUI.PR_OMIT in Oracle SQL Developer and I think I found the problem. There is a SELECT INTO statement that is trying to store a 4 digit number into a NUMBER(2) variable. I just want to change this to NUMBER(4). Can I just make the change and click the Run button? I am assuming this will 'CREATE OR REPLACE' the function - which in this case, it would be replacing it.

  • How can I get product replacement warranty ?

    This is first time I’ve used Apple product.
    I choose Macbook Pro 15 inch With Retina Display (MC976) for my first Apple device. I love this stuff so much, simply excellent OS with the coolest graphic effect ever, superfast start up, elegant aluminum unibody casing and absolutely amazing retina display screen. Until I notice the defects on headphone port after 5 months of usage (with this email, I also send you the picture of the defects). By the time I want to do my video editing project. I realize that I cannot plug my headphone onto the headphone port (maybe its possible if I just force it, but I afraid it will cause more damage so I didn’t do it).
    I wonder if I can claim the product replacement thus I went to Authorized Reseller where I bought the product. However, the person in charge said it is possible to exchange the product during the first time I bought it. Other than that, there is no replacement unit guaranteed. Why I cannot ask for replacement? I know that apple warranty is one year period and my unit still under warranty.
    Why I just want a product replacement option? First, I believe this was production defects. It was because my unit never fall down or crashed before. It is still in perfect condition, no scratches and another damage at all.
    Second, most of apple user in Indonesia said repairment by changing certain parts will cause more damage to the unit itself such as scratches, broken screw and the most is dented. This will cause difficult process if I want to claim the warranty in later time.
    The process of replacement parts also takes a very long time. They said it will at least take minimum of 10 working days and it will surely hamper my daily activities.
    Also, I doubt the Indonesian AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) technician ability to repair MC976 which is premium product with high detail and complexity.
    I admit that it is my fault that I didn’t do thorough physical check the first time I open the box. But I know that Apple is a premium brand and there is almost no chance such thing will happen. Unlucky for me to just notice it after so long.
    I hope all of you can give the best solution for my problem. Thank You.

  • Replacement for FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'in ecc 6.0

    Hi all!
    Can any one please tel me the replacement for FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'which is oboselete in ecc 6.0. I need the revised function module for this in ecc 6.0.

    Where do you have the information from that this function module is obsolete in ECC6. Neither the shortext nor any comments in the code nor the function module documentation states that this is obsolete (which is usually does if it is).
    The only thing that the function module documentation says is that the solution was revised as well as the docu, therefore I can't see why this function module would be obsolete.
    Hope that helps,

  • Which product? Photoshop or Elements?

    I saw there's a lot of products. I'm certainly unsure which product to use for my business. I am doing Marketing for my company and we use alot of editing. I'm not sure which product to use as they have a lot of function eg. photoshop element, photoshop etc. and what function do they carried. Please advice.

    Exactly what type of image editing do you need to do for your company?
    Photoshop Elements has matured into a very capable app over the last few years -- for image editing. Photoshop is like a "Swiss Army knife" of image & graphics editing. It does a lot more than just image editing -- text, 3D, vector graphics, video. As such the learning curve for PS is greater than PE.
    If all you need to do for your company is to edit images, then PE may suffice. If you want to do complex image editing, such as using Blend If... adjustments, then PS will be necessary. Not sure if PE can edit 16-but images.
    As an option, a couple of third party add-on plug-ins can extend the functionality of PE if ever needed.

  • Which Products

    Hi
    I am looking to replace my aging Netgear products.
    What I am looking for is some advice on which Linksys product I require.
    The scenario is I require a wirless N router which will be located in the living room this giving the internet connection.
    I then need to connect a PC and a network printer both of these a located in the same room but upstairs some distance from the wireless router.
    What I would like is to know which product will be best suited to contact to the wireless router downstairs, but this is where I think it may get a it messy I need this to connect wirelessly to the router.
    Kind Regards

    Thanks for this
    but what about the network MFP device I have.

  • Microsoft Office 2004 Products don't function on Mac OSX Lion

    I installed Lion on both my iMac and Mac Book Pro.  When I did the installs I didn't keep Snow Lepoard so I could boot either the old or new system.  After signing on to Lion I notice that all my Microsoft 2004 Office products no longer function.  I looked into the steps to re-install Snow Leporad but that doesn't look easy, its wasteful, and I might have to kep it around forever.  Since I have an extensive number of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access files does anyone know if the lastest version of Microsoft Office for Mac is support on Lion?  The only other solution I see is to move exything to cloud version of office

    If you don't need Exchange you can get Office 2008 H&S very reasonably from Amazon with free shipping. $89.75
    Office 2011 H&S does not contain Outlook. In addition, Office 2011 now has activation and number of installs are different than previous versions.
    See this chart to know which version to purchase.
    Lastly, Outlook for Mac 2011 is version 1 software. Do not expect Outlook for Mac to be anything close to Outlook for Windows. Just because it's not storing your messages in a database it still has lots of issues that damages or looses your data.

  • Which product forum?

    Adobe Acrobat forum (or sub-forum) or Coldfusion forum...confused.
    I'm not sure which product/product function forum is the correct one to post my question.
    I'm trying to find the correct Adobe product (and forum) that will allow me to generate professional looking pdfs from Coldfusion. Ideally this would populate an existing pdf template with data and create a pdf.
    This process needs to be driven by Coldfusion on a server (no human interaction).
    Any tips on the correct product/forum to start looking at would be greatly appreciated!
    Regards,
    Troy.

    If you need to use Coldfusion,  I think you should ask in the Coldfusion forum.

  • Which product for mu

    I am at a slight loss to know which product I should get if I were to upgrade my system. Fortunately I can afford to get the top line one if that is what I should get, but I am not sure if that is what I need.
    My interest is in music playback through my PC using sources such as ripped CDs, a signal from Sky TV music channels and watching the odd video. I also need on occasions to edit music tracks for use in home video editing. I have no interest in playing games on my PC and whilst I want a decent soundtrack from any video I may watch, multi speaker surround sound is a bit wasted on me as my hearing is largely firing on one cylinder! (One ear has very poor response for frequencies above 3K).
    The question therefore is which of the multiple options available to me would be the best sound system to get.
    I currently am using the Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro but this seems to have some issues with my OS (Vista). For one thing I can't boost the higher frequencies which given the state of my hearing I need to do.

    Hi Swetha,
    You can use any one of the below.
    Reason for substitution 0005: Manual production selection (list of default values) .
    Reason for substitution 0004 / 0006: Automatic product selection (depending on availability in order and delivery) In manual production selection, (reason for substitution 0005), the system does not automatically replace the product. Instead, it displays a list of all of the substitution materials and other information in the master record. You can then select the required material from this list. To simplify selection, the system displays the material quantities that can be confirmed on the customer's requested delivery date. If a material cannot be confirmed fully for the requested delivery date, the system displays the date on which the material can be completely delivered.
    Thanks,
    Raja

  • How long does product replacement pending for iPhone 4S take????

    I've been waiting over a week for my iPhone 4S to be replaced it has said "product replacement pending for a day and a half..... How long till they ship? This is so slack

    You will need to contact Apple support, or the service center to which you sent/gave the iPhone, and ask them. We're just fellow users here and would have no idea as to status.

  • REPLACE ALL functionality.  Am I missing something??!! Where is it?

    Hi SUN Team,
    Am I being stupid or missing something obvious, but does the Replace All function only apply to one file??!! Is there no Replace All across all files?
    If not, this basic editing function should be in the next patch, as IMHO, this needs to be there. I know the Refactor does a Rename, but this is limited in its scope.
    If I change a variable name, I have to open all files in Texpad and do the find and replace with it.
    Its things like this that can make or break a product.

    still_nearly_impressed.

    Hi SUN Team,
    This may not be a high priority issue to you, as I see no response yet, but a good editor is at the heart of a good IDE.
    If the idea was to move VB guys to JAVA via Creator, it is nearly there, except a few rough edges.
    On the whole, I am a big Creator fan, just want to be spoiled a bit more.
    Regards,
    80% impressed.
