Chapter 8  Providing Web Conferences for Those Outside Your Company 

Another deployment option would be to host a single 
MeetingPlace Web server in the DMZ for both internal and 
external web conferences. Please consult your MeetingPlace 
Support Representative to determine the best architecture for 
your needs.

MeetingPlace Web can be automatically installed and configured 
as an internal web site or as an external web site. The internal 
web site server will reside in the Intranet and provide full-
featured access to internal employees, while the external web site 
server will reside in the Internet world and provide attend-only 
access. This is the most secure deployment, but will require two 
separate Windows servers.

For organizations requiring controlled access to MeetingPlace 
web conferences for external users, the preferred deployment 
option is to place the MeetingPlace Web server in the DMZ. 

This server will only allow users to attend public meetings. Users 
will not be able to use this server to schedule or review meetings. 

To create a public meeting, the meeting must be scheduled with 
the “Display Meeting to Everyone” parameter set to “Yes” and 

Note:  The MeetingPlace Replication Service on the 
MeetingPlace Web server in the DMZ must be enabled and 
running. If this service is disabled, participants of a public 
meeting scheduled on this server will not be able to access 
meeting attachments or view Slide Show presentations.  

Note: We recommend configuring external MeetingPlace Web 
servers or MeetingPlace Web servers in a DMZ to use SSL. This 
will provide optimum security and will resolve proxy server 
issues that might prevent users from joining a web conference. 
Refer to page 192 for SSL configuration instructions.
