MTLS issue with Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007 - How to set up

During the Beta Test we discovered that the Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007 Standard and Enterprise edition somehow behave different on TLS encryption.

On the Enterprise edition, the "snom OCS edition" can't actually register directly. We are currently anayzing this and will keep you posted. (The Standard Edition works directly without the below described changes).

 

How to set it up?

Please go to the Management Console of your Microsoft Office Communication Server 2007. Go to your Front End Server, right click on it, click on Properties and on "Front-End-Server".

The images are not 100% correct, as I only had a Standard edition Server available for Screenshots.

Add a TLS Port

Please click on "Add..." enter a free port number (5065 should be fine) and set the transport to TLS.

How it has to look like

When you're finished it should look like this:

Changes in the snom phone

To tell the snom phone to connect to the different port, you need to add the port in the Outbound Proxy field. This has to be like:


Server:Port;transport=tls

See below for an example.
