Screenshot 6 – Active connections

Access the ’Active connections’ view by clicking on Monitoring > Active Connections in the navigation pane.

’Active connections’ provides information related to all currently active TCP connections which are processed through Microsoft ISA Server. The information displayed includes:

•

User name

•

Source IP

•	Bytes received/sent

•	Connection details, such as traffic direction and file type

•	Details about the URL being accessed.

Through this view you can terminate active Internet connections. (e.g., interrupt file downloads that are taking up too much bandwidth). To interrupt connections, click on the button in the ‘Status’ column of the connection and the download will be terminated.

NOTE 1: When ISA Server authentication is used, the Windows account user name is displayed in the User column. Otherwise the user name is displayed as ‘unauthenticated’.

NOTE 2: The information displayed is not refreshed automatically. Click on the refresh button on the upper right of the view to update the information being shown.
