Preface

In the world of enterprise-class software products, software development companies often find themselves struggling with merely finishing the product and getting it out to the market before their competitors beat them to the punch. In this type of situation, more often than not, the developers are happy if the customer is just able to deploy the product successfully. UAG as well as its predecessors IAG and e-Gap have always been somewhat unique in this aspect by providing extensive customization options which are not only possible, but some of which are even fully supported. Even in Microsoft's impressive selection of software products, there are very few products which offer as extensive customizability as UAG does, and this has made UAG a tremendous success in the remote-access space.

In this book, which is the follow-up to the successful Microsoft Forefront UAG 2010 Administrator's Handbook, we will delve deep into the wonderful things you can achieve with UAG customizations. Our journey will explore the many aspects of the product that are customizable, suggest ideas for customizations that could benefit your organization, and offer detailed explanations, as well as code samples for implementing these ideas.
