Needs to be able to publish all the contents of your hosted web site. Should be able to publish an internally hosted web site externally by using a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Needs to be able to publish internal Web sites using certificates for encryption, or publish them over an unencrypted means, if needed. Should be able to use transport layer security (TLS) that's introduced to your environment via public certificates to connect to the published external Web services of: Our current reverse proxy recommendations can be found on the Telephony Infrastructure for Skype for Business page. It enables push notifications from Microsoft 365 or Office 365 to mobile devices.
It lets them automatically discover Front End Servers offering mobility services. Obtain updates to client and device software. Get user-based certificates for client certificate based authenticationĭownload files from the Address Book Server, or to submit queries to the Address Book Web Query service. A reverse proxy allows external users to:Ĭonnect to meetings or dial-in conferences using simple URLs. Reverse proxiesĪ reverse proxy (RP) server has no Skype for Business Server role, but is an essential component of an Edge Server deployment. See Migrating XMPP federation for more information. XMPP Gateways and proxies are available in Skype for Business Server 2015 but are no longer supported in Skype for Business Server 2019. But again, those are the only client and federation types that will work.
The XMPP Gateway server can allow connections with configured XMPP partners. You can't connect from other end point client or server types. XMPP Proxy service: Accepts and sends extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP) messages to and from configured XMPP Federated partners.Īuthorized external users can use your Edge Servers to connect to your internal Skype for Business Server deployment, but otherwise, they provide no other access to your internal network for anyone.Įdge Servers are deployed to provide connections for enabled Skype for Business clients and other Edge Servers (in federation scenarios). Web Conferencing Edge service: Enables external users to join meetings that are hosted on your internal Skype for Business Server environment.Ī/V Edge service: Makes audio, video, application sharing and file transfer available to external users. To do this successfully, each Edge Server runs:Īccess Edge service: Provides a single, trusted connection point for both outbound and inbound Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) traffic. Their role is to send and receive network traffic to external users for the services offered by your internal Skype for Business Server deployment. These are the Skype for Business servers deployed in your perimeter environment.
We have more detail on each of these below: Edge Servers Load Balancers (you can have DNS load balancing or a hardware load balancer (HLB), but for a single Edge Server, this isn't needed) Keeping that in mind, these are the components you're going to need to keep in mind for deploying your Edge successfully:ĭirectors (these are optional, and if they're included, they'll be located on your internal network) When discussing the Edge Server environment, we're referencing components that are, for the most part, deployed in a perimeter network (that's to say it's either in a workgroup or a domain that's outside your Skype for Business Server domain structure). For more information on topology, DNS, certificates, and other infrastructure concerns, check out the environmental requirements documentation. When it comes to your Skype for Business Server Edge Server deployment, these are the things you'll need to do for the server or servers that are in the environment itself, as well as planning for the environment structure.
