Chapter 8  Providing Web Conferences for Those Outside Your Company 

A second URL for MeetingPlace Web should resolve to the 

IP address of the external MeetingPlace Web server for 
Internet users.

The drawback to this configuration is that your internal URL 
would be exposed to external users. To prevent this, you can 
customize e-mail notifications to not include any “Click to 
Attend” URLs. However, doing so impacts the end users’ 
experience.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) helps ensure that the security of the 
information shared in a web conference is not compromised. 
Before you can configure MeetingPlace Web to use SSL, make 
sure you have done the following:

Obtained a certificate from an authorized Certificate 
Authority. For example, if your MeetingPlace Web URL is 
xyz.company.com, you need to apply for a certificate 
specifically for xyz.company.com. Consult your IT 
Department for assistance.

Applied the certificate to the MeetingPlace Web web site. 

Consult your IT Department for assistance.

Enabled the SSL option by placing a check in the Use Secure 

Web Server (https://) box from the Agent Service tab in the 
MeetingPlace Gateway Configurations interface. In addition, 
you must enable SSL security in IIS.

Configured your web server to require an SSL connection 

from the WebConnect Admin page. See page 228 for 
instructions.
