About the SMA-2S Configuration with SSL and Segmented DNS

If your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing system has SSL configured on the external web server and a segmented DNS, the segmented DNS name cannot be the same as the SSL certificate name on the external or internal machine. See the following example for configuration guidelines.

Example

You have an SMA-2S configuration in which SSL is required for external users but is not required for internal users who are accessing the internal or external machine.

•The segmented DNS name is meetingplace.company.com.

•The SSL certificate name for the external machine is meetingplace1.company.com.

•The hostname for the external machine from the internal machine is meetingplace1.

•All URLs and click-to-attend links are in the form of http://meetingplace.company.com.

When users access http://meetingplace.company.com from the external network, the external machine will automatically redirect them to HTTPS plus whatever hostname is configured in the database—in this case, meetingplace1.

Note If you force SSL on all users, both internal and external users will be forced to use SSL when they access the external web server.
