Use the following procedure to verify that your users can access information on the reverse proxy. You might need to complete the firewall configuration and Domain Name System (DNS) configuration before access will work correctly.

To verify that you can access the website through the Internet

  • Open a web browser, type the URLs in the Address bar that clients use to access the Address Book files and the website for conferencing as follows:

    • For Address Book Server, type a URL similar to the following: https://externalwebfarmFQDN/abs where externalwebfarmFQDN is the external FQDN of the web farm that hosts Address Book Server files. The user should receive an HTTP challenge, because directory security on the Address Book Server folder is configured to Windows authentication by default.

    • For conferencing, type a URL similar to the following: https://externalwebfarmFQDN/meet where externalwebfarmFQDN is the external FQDN of the web farm that hosts meeting content. This URL should display the troubleshooting page for conferencing.

    • For distribution group expansion, type a URL similar to the following: https://externalwebfarmFQDN/GroupExpansion/service.svc. The user should receive an HTTP challenge, because directory security on the distribution group expansion service is configured to Windows authentication by default.

    • For dial-in, type the simple URL for dial-in conferencing. The user should be directed to the dial-in page.
