  • Create and configure SSL certificates to encrypt communications

Preparation for installation

Please check the following points before installation:

  1. Make sure that the latest operating system updates are installed on the target system.
  2. estos UCServer is installed and started.
  3. For a safer use of UCServer Web Services and your internal data (LAN) to protect against unauthorized external access, we recommend setting up a DMZ with a two-stage firewall concept. A schematic representation of the DMZ structure is available in chapter demilitarized zone (DMZ).
  4. Between UCServer Web Services and estos UCServer (default port 7222), a TCP connection can be established. Alternatively, you can check the connection via the estos ProCall.
  5. For using the apps on your mobile devices or ProCall for Mac® outside LAN environment, so you must make sure that the Microsoft® Internet Information Services (IIS) is accessible on the Internet. Refer to the chapter accessible on the internet (demilitarized zone (DMZ). How to configure your router or your firewall accordingly, please contact the manufacturer of the system component.
  6. Recommended: To establish an encrypted communication between their clients and the UCServer Web Services, a valid server certificate is required. Please check the requirements for such a certificate and refer to section server certificates.
  7. Recommended: Disable the use of the now considered to be insecure encryption protocols SSL v2 and SSL v3 and enable TLS. For details, refer to the chapter optimize the security settings in Microsoft® Internet Information Services (IIS).
  8. Optional: Make sure that the target machine can connect to MetaDirectory. To protect your data against external access, we strongly recommend encrypted data transmission via LDAPs. This requires an MetaDirectory Professional license.
