In a Standard Edition server deployment or an Enterprise pool in a consolidated configuration, the Web Conferencing Server is collocated with the Front End Server, so the Web Conferencing Server uses the certificate configured for the Front End Server. For an Enterprise pool in an expanded configuration, you must configure the certificate for the Web Conferencing Server separately.
This certificate is usually set up in the Certificate Wizard during Standard Edition server or Enterprise pool deployment. If you want to change the certificate, you can do either of the following:
- You can use the Certificate Wizard to guide you through the
process of requesting and assigning a certificate. (You can launch
the Certificate Wizard from the
Available taskspane in the Office Communications Server 2007
R2 snap-in and in Computer Management for Standard Edition servers.
You can also access it from the Office Communications Server 2007
R2 installation media.)
- If you want to assign a different certificate on a server, view
a certificate, or delete a certificate, you can open the server's
properties and configure the certificate using the
Certificatetab. Deleting a certificate causes it to no
longer be assigned to the server for TLS or MTLS, but the
certificate is not deleted from the computer. The procedure in this
section describes the use of the
Certificatetab.
Any modifications you make are only applied to future connections—existing connections continue to use the old certificate as long as the connection continues.
