Chapter 3 Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing for a Segmented Meeting Access Configuration
About Segmented Meeting Access
About the SMA-2S Configuration
Note For system requirements, see the “Segmented Meeting Access - 2 Server Requirements” section of the
of the Release Notes for your release of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing. New
installations of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 require a Cisco MCS.
In the Segmented Meeting Access-2 Servers (SMA-2S) configuration, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing is deployed on two separate web servers or two separate clusters of web servers. One is on
the internal network, behind the firewall; the other is on another network segment, such as a DMZ. The
internal server or cluster is only accessible from behind the firewall while the external server or cluster
is accessible from inside or outside the firewall.
While internal users have access to the full-access Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing user
interface, external users have access to an attend-only web page that only allows attendance to external
meetings.
The SMA-2S configuration is the preferred and most secure deployment model if you want to provide
external access to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web conferences.
Note We highly recommend that you configure external web servers to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This
provides optimum security and resolves proxy server issues that can prevent users from joining a web
conference. For more information, see Chapter 6 in the Configuration Guide for Cisco
Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.
