Overview

Info: This document covers the case when TMG is used as an Edge Firewall. If your organization uses TMG in a different network topology please contact
Acronis for specific instructions.

If you are using Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) to dedicate and protect your internal network from Internet threats and viruses, you need to make certain configurations to your TMG server to get it working with Acronis Access. To use TMG as reverse proxy and firewall for your Acronis Access server you need to create two separate networks on your TMG computer: internal and external. The two TMG network adapters should be properly configured, one with a private (internal IP address) and one with a public (external IP address). The Acronis Access server should be part of the internal network.

To use Acronis Access with TMG you need to complete the steps described in this document:

• Obtain an SSL server certificate and install it to your Acronis Access server and to the TMG server computer.
• Create a web listener in TMG.
• Create new web site publishing rule for the Acronis Access Gateway server, so that the clients from outside your network can connect to Acronis Access.
• Create an external DNS record in your DNS server.

The Access Mobile Client app supports these forms of authentication with a reverse proxy server:

• Pass-through authentication
• HTTP authentication (username & password)
• Certificate authentication
