in the year 1996 checkpoint announced that its FireWall-1 (ver 3.0) network security
software is compatible with Microsoft Proxy Server 1.0.
now this is nearly 4 years ago. how is it today with fw-1 version 4.0 and proxy server
2.0
one of my customers want me to install proxy server 2.0 on his fine working firewall.
they need to restrict access to the internet. only special users will get the right to
access sites on the internet. all other users will get access only to the intranet
page. all users are working on a terminal server. i know that i should use the
security server with user authentication, but for this i have to build up a second
userdatabase. so my customer decided to use ms proxy server because it is able to use
the existing nt userdatabase.
so, my question is: does it make sense to install proxy server on an existing (and
well functioning) firewall-1 4.0 machine? and what's about security after that
installation?
Thanks,
Waldi
