Edge Server Public CA-Certificate Question

Question

Sign in to vote

Hi,
I'm planning for deploying an Edge Server in my EE Enviroment.
And I'm kind of confused about the external Certificate and IP Adress requirements.

This is what I planned so far:

1 Edge Server:
NIC 1: Internal (internalCA- Cert)
NIC 2: Access Edge (Public Cert)
NIC 3: Web Conferencing Edge (Public Cert)
NIC 4: A/V Edge Server

I also need 1 Certificate for A/V Authentication from my internal CA.
Is this correct ?

One more question:
Which NICs do need a publicly routable IP Adress? Only NIC 4?

Thank you

Tobais,

Actually you can use a certificate issued by your internal CA on the A/V Edge Authentication role, as it's used for corporate user authentication. It should not be the same certicate as the Edge Internal uses, but it's own dedicated cert. You only need public certs on teh Access Edge and Web Conf roles for greatest flexibilty.
