Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You try to access a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) website through Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010.

  • The website uses Server Name Indication (SNI) to determine which certificate to serve.

  • Threat Management Gateway HTTPS Inspection is enabled.

  • The Threat Management Gateway server uses web chaining to send outgoing web requests to an upstream proxy server.

  • The HTTPSiDontUseOldClientProtocols vendor parameter set is enabled (per KB 2545464).

In this scenario, you cannot access the website.

Cause

This problem occurs because the Threat Management Gateway builds an incorrect SNI header that causes connectivity errors or web server errors.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, apply this hotfix on all Threat Management Gateway array members. This hotfix is not enabled by default. After you install this hotfix, you must follow these steps to enable the fix:

  1. Copy the following script to a text editor such as Notepad, and then save it as UseOriginalHostNameInSslContex.vbs:

    '
    ' Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
    ' THIS CODE IS MADE AVAILABLE AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE ENTIRE
    ' RISK OF THE USE OR THE RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THIS CODE REMAINS WITH THE
    ' USER. USE AND REDISTRIBUTION OF THIS CODE, WITH OR WITHOUT MODIFICATION, IS
    ' HEREBY PERMITTED.
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    ' This script forces TMG to use original host name for SSL context when connecting to target server via upstream proxy
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    Const SE_VPS_GUID = "{143F5698-103B-12D4-FF34-1F34767DEabc}"
    Const SE_VPS_NAME = "UseOriginalHostNameInSslContex"
    Const SE_VPS_VALUE = TRUE
    Sub SetValue()
    ' Create the root object.
    Dim root
    ' The FPCLib.FPC root object
    Set root = CreateObject("FPC.Root")
    'Declare the other objects that are needed.
    Dim array ' An FPCArray object
    Dim VendorSets
    ' An FPCVendorParametersSets collection
    Dim VendorSet
    ' An FPCVendorParametersSet object
    Set array = root.GetContainingArray
    Set VendorSets = array.VendorParametersSets
    On Error Resume Next
    Set VendorSet = VendorSets.Item( SE_VPS_GUID )
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    Err.Clear ' Add the item.
    Set VendorSet = VendorSets.Add( SE_VPS_GUID )
    CheckError
    WScript.Echo "New VendorSet added... " & VendorSet.Name
    Else
    WScript.Echo "Existing VendorSet found... value: " & VendorSet.Value(SE_VPS_NAME)
    End If
    if VendorSet.Value(SE_VPS_NAME) <> SE_VPS_VALUE Then
    Err.Clear
    VendorSet.Value(SE_VPS_NAME) = SE_VPS_VALUE
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    CheckError
    Else
    VendorSets.Save false, true
    CheckError
    If Err.Number = 0 Then
    WScript.Echo "Done with " & SE_VPS_NAME & ", saved!"
    End If
    End If
    Else
    WScript.Echo "Done with " & SE_VPS_NAME & ", no change!"
    End If
    End Sub
    Sub CheckError()
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    WScript.Echo "An error occurred: 0x" & Hex(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Description
    Err.Clear
    End If
    End Sub
    SetValue
  2. Copy the script file to a Threat Management Gateway array member, and then double-click the file to run the script.

To revert to the default behavior, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the following line of the script:

    Const SE_VPS_VALUE = true
  2. Change this line to the following:

    Const SE_VPS_VALUE = false
  3. Rerun the script on one of the Threat Management Gateway array members.

More Information

SNI is an SSL Transport Layer Security (TLS) feature that enables a client to send a header in the SSL client "Hello" message that indicates which fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is being accessed. This action enables a server to determine which certificate to send to the client based on the SNI header.

When Threat Management Gateway SSL Inspection is enabled, Threat Management Gateway handles the SSL negotiation to the target web server and is identified as the client by the web server SSL negotiation.

Threat Management Gateway builds the SNI header incorrectly by using the name of the upstream server and not the target web server name if the following conditions are true:

  • Threat Management Gateway is a downstream proxy server.

  • Threat Management Gateway chains outgoing requests to an upstream Threat Management Gateway server.

  • The HTTPSiDontUseOldClientProtocols vendor parameter set is enabled per KB 2545464.

This can cause connectivity errors or web server errors, depending on how the web server reacts to the incorrect SNI header.
