SharePoint 2013 - Extending the sites in SharePoint Farms to SSL enabled FQDNs

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if you could please share you ideas on the following.

I have to extend our SharePoint 2013 hosted web apps to FQDN's to allow them to be exposed via an Azure Application Proxy to O365 Tenant.

I have the following questions:

1. Do I need to configure SSL certificate in the IIS for each Web Front End Servers and Applications Servers, I have multiple WFE serves and Apps servers ?
2. Can the existing Default Zone SharePoint sites use a SSL URL in Office Web Apps?

Thank you...

Hi @Saad ,

1. You have to congifure SSL certificates but only on your all WFE servers. SSL certificates required on SharePoint web front end servers only. Web front ends are the servers which respond the user's requests.
2. Yes. you can achieve it via binding https in IIS and configure AAM in Central Administration. Reference: Configure SSL for SharePoint 2013/2016.
