I am trying to get the IFD config working on a test bed before I roll it out to production. There are two organizations in the crm system (OrgA and OrgB). I want them to be accessible from the internet at the addresses OrgA.testcrm.companyname.com and OrgB.testcrm.companyname.com. I had my ISP create the testcrm.companyname.com zone and put an entry for both OrgA and OrgB pointing to the same public IP address (211.123.123.1). In my firewall I have a NAT pointing the public IP (211.123.123.1) to the internal IP (192.168.1.67) and allowing only http and https traffic. In the IFD configuration tool I put the IFD App and SDK Root Domains to testcrm.companyname.com and set the Domain Scheme to HTTPS. In my internal DNS, I created an entry for both OrgA.testcrm.companyname.com and OrgB.testcrm.companyname.com pointing to the internal IP of 192.168.1.67. When I go to access that URL from a workstation outside of the internal network I first get a certificate error and then a connection error. Can anyone point out where I went wrong with all this? Any troubleshooting suggestions would be welcome too. Thanks!
Well nevermind, I got it all figured out. The culprit was the SSL certificate, or lack thereof. I switched it to HTTP and the site worked. So I checked the certificate and realized there wasn't one. After installing the a generic cert for testing, the site worked in HTTPS. Hope this helps someone else.
