Complete Step 3 to Step 5 in the “Configuring Services for the First External Web Server” section on page 4-16.

Step 6 Repeat the steps in this procedure until you have installed all the external web servers.

Configuring Redirection of External Meetings

External meetings are held on an external web server so that users can access their meetings from the Internet. Rather than have all of your users log in to a particular external web server, configure automatic redirection of all external meetings from your internal web servers to a designated external web server.

Before You Begin

You must have properly installed Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing on all of your internal and external web servers.

Procedure

Step 1 From the internal web server, sign in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing. Step 2 From the Welcome page, click Admin; then, Web Server.

Step 3 From a blank Web Server Name field, enter the name of a new web server to represent your designated external web server.

Step 4 For Hostname, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your external web server, that is, hostname.domain.com. If your web server is not in a Domain Name Server (DNS), enter the IP address instead.

You must be able to resolve this hostname from the internal web server.

If you are using SSL, make sure that the hostname on the SSL certificate resolves to the external web server’s IP address.

If you are using SSL and a segmented DNS, make sure that the DNS name and the SSL certificate name differ.

Step 5 To add this web server to the database, click Submit.

This server now appears as part of your list of web servers on the bottom portion of the page.

If you only have one internal web server and one external web server, stop here.

If you have more than one internal web server, proceed to Step 6.
