Walkthrough: Setup Certificates for the Internal Interface

Topic Last Modified: 2009-07-11

A certificate is required for mutual TLS (MTLS) communication between the Edge Servers and internal servers, including the A/V Conferencing Server and Mediation Server. The procedures outlined below provide the steps necessary to prepare and configure certificates for internal interfaces.

For details about the certificate requirements, see Certificate Requirements for External User Access.

Configuring the Certificates on your Internal Interface

To set up a certificate on the internal interface of Edge Servers at one site, use the following procedure:

  • Step 1: Download the certification authority (CA) certification path for the internal interface to each Edge Server.
  • Step 2: Import the CA certification path for the internal interface.
  • Step 3: Verify that the CA is in the list of trusted root CAs.
  • Step 4: Create the certificate request for the internal interface.
  • Step 5: Import the certificate for the internal interface.
  • Step 6: Assign the certificate for the internal interface.

Prepare for Edge Server Internal Certificates

Each Edge Server must have a certificate for mutual TLS (MTLS) communication with internal servers.

To set up a certificate on the internal interface of Edge Servers at one site, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Download the certification authority (CA) certification path for the internal interface to each Edge Server.
  • Step 2: Import the CA certification path for the internal interface, on each Edge Server.
  • Step 3: Verify that the CA is in the list of trusted root CAs, on each Edge Server.
