Configuration Dynamics CRM 2013 for Internet-Facing Deployment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by danielpi 60

Dear All,

I have a big Issue by deploying Internet-Facing in combination of CRM2013/ADFS.

I have installed the complete System and it works. Unfortunately i have it installed with the internal Domain Name and not the external one the System should be reachable over WAN. And so the WildCard-Certificate are only for the Internal Domain.

Is there a possibility to reach that Goal on another way? Or can i Change the internal links. I would avoid a complete new Installation. :-(

How is it about a VPN-Connection? Or is there another possibility?

Any Help appreciate..

Thanks in advance

Cheers,

Daniel

    HI. Danielpi

    You don't need new installation,  you have to use your external domain if you want it reachable over wan,  Of course  you can use VPN,

    But you can't have both internal and external domain for url to CRM.

    As Ragnar mentioned, you will need to set up CRM with an external wildcard, and then make sure you update both the CRM server, the IIS service, the Certificate store on CRM, and then ADFS with this updated information.

    You don't need to reinstall, but you do have some re-work.  

    Also, is your ADFS server on a separate server than your CRM server?  (it should be, and if you have a DMZ, you should also have an ADFS proxy in the DMZ for security)

    Does your ADFS have an external-facing wildcard certificate?  It will need one as well.  

    From outside, you're going to need people to see:

    yourURL.com

    ADFS.yourURL.com

    CRM.yourURL.com

    to make everything work.  Local certificates are really only for testing.

    Thank Both of You..

    I have solved the Issue like you mentioned.. I have deinstalled the ADFS-Role and installed it new. So i could reconfigure the ADFS and the Claims based Authentication. But for this, there is a SSL-WildCard-Certificate of the new Name neccessary. Finally i had to publish the Adresses of the CRM-Deployment to the Public-DNS:

    - HOST-Record to the IP of the ADFS-Proxy

    - CNAME-Records (auth, dev, adfs, CRM-Organisation) to thos HOST-Record

    The Last Step is to configure the HOSTS-File of the ADFS-Proxy:

    - auth, dev und CRM-Organization --> CRM-Server

    - adfs --> ADFS-Server

    Thats it. Now i can reach CRM from outside the LAN. :-)
