Before you begin

Intelligent Application Gateway 2007 (IAG) is not a regular SSL VPN product, IAG includes Application Firewall functionalities that protects internal published web applications through a built-in portal, protects the portal itself and also protect public web sites from Application attacks

In a read world scenarios we want to change the default pages of the product so malicious entities that will try to attack the portal will not identify the product that defend it. Important thing to say is that if malicious entities will really want to identify the product they will manage to do it

The default error pages looks like this:
