Are there other application layer firewalls like Microfot TMG (ISA) that do advanced http rules?
- by Bret Fisher
Since the old days ISA and now TMG have had several great features that I often want to deploy to my customers because of the enhanced functionality and security, but often the cost of an additinal server HW, Windows Server, and TMG license is too much to justify when compaired to a $300-500 appliance.
Are there other gateway firewalls that can perform one or more of these application layer features:
pre-auth incoming http traffic against AD/LDAP before sending packets to internal server (forms auth or basic creds popup)?
read host headers of incoming http traffic (even on https) to a single public IP and route packets to different internal servers based on that host header?
