Now that we have a backup it’s time to start configuration. A password can be used to secure the backup, if you have automatic backups configured it will inherit the password from that config. Through the UAG management console click ‘File –> Export’ then either select to create an automatic backup (assuming you have those settings configured) or browse to a location to save the file. Some people also take a full system backup of the server to allow for a complete restore in a worst case scenario.

In my environment there is only a single UAG server however you may be running a cluster so please be mindful when following these steps.įirst make sure you have a backup of your UAG configuration – ideally you should have automatic backups configured to ease rollback if required. The solution to this is very simple, configure the UAG to forward requests received on HTTP to the HTTPS portal.

If you haven’t setup a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS then users will encounter issues if they do not specify HTTPS in the URL. If you are running the Microsoft Unified Access Gateway (UAG) to present websites to the Internet you are likely using HTTPS for each portal.
