Segmented Meeting Access-2 Server Configuration

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 a SMA-2S configuration where SSL is required for external users, but 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.

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.
