RE: Request for proxy users...

Jeremy,

We use vault with ISA server on Windows 2000.  We have never encountered
this problem.  It just seems to work.  When I work from home, I actually
connect through two ISA server, one on my home network, one on my business
network.

When at the office, we connect directly to the server without going through
ISA.

One thing that may be different is that we run our vault server and the ISA
server on the same box.  So ISA does not need to forward sessions to another
machine.  Our vault database is on a different server.

Best regards,

Metro.
