=?Utf-8?Q?Extending_the_ISA_Firewall=E2=80=99s_SSL?=

I need to access an external SSL website which is on a port other than 443.
When I try to connect to the site I receive the following message from ISA:

HTTP 502 Proxy Error - The specified Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) port is not
allowed. ISA Server is not configured to allow SSL requests from this port.
Most Web browsers use port 443 for SSL requests. (12204)

I googled the message and located the following article:
http://www.isaserver.org/articles/2004tunnelportrange.html

The problem is thta this article was written for ISA 2004. Will these
procedures work for ISA 2000, or are there different steps I should follow?

Thank you,
Don

There is a counterpart ISATpre.zip for ISA 2000 at:
(may even be the same tool as for ISA 2004)

No, it won't be the same, as the COM objects used to manipulate the SSL
tunnel port ranges changed between ISA2000 and ISA2004 (ie an ISA2000
script won't work on 2004, and vice versa).
