Cisco VPN on Windows Vista

For some time we have experienced problems with the following error-message from the Cisco VPN client running on Windows Vista:

reason 403 unable to contact the security gateway

Enabling the log on the client shows this error:

Unable to bind to IKE port.  This could be because there is another VPN client installed or running.  Please disable or uninstall all VPN Clients other than the Cisco VPN Client.

Following another help-article on the Internet, we stopped this service running on the computer:

IKE and AuthIP IPSec Keying Modules

After stopping this service, the user was able to contact and logon to the gateway. You should however note, that you should not stop the service, if the protocols are being used on your network.

Issues when upgrading from ISA Server 2004 to ISA Server 2006

Last night I did an upgrade og Microsoft ISA Server 2004 to Microsoft ISA Server 2006. After the upgrade was completed and the server was rebooted, I had to issues:

  1. Error Code: 403 Forbidden. ISA Server is configured to block HTTP requests that require authentication. (12250) – for all the websites I had published using web-listeners and server publishing rules.
  2. Outlook Web Access not working using OWA Forms Based Authentication

To resolve issue number 1:

Use this knowledgebase from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924374. I had to use Method 2, since I don’t have SSL certificates for each site.

To resolve issue number 2:

Find the publishing rules used to publish Exchange Outlook Web Access, go to Properties -> Application Settings – and these settings worked for me:
