4. Deploy Connect Enterprise Server.
For more information, see “Deploying Connect Enterprise Server 6” on page 23.
5. Verify that Connect Enterprise Server is installed correctly.
For more information, see “Installation verification tasks” on page 47.
6. (Optional) Integrate Connect Enterprise with your infrastructure.
There are many possibilities for integrating Connect Enterprise into your organization’s existing infrastructure. It’s a
good idea to verify that Connect Enterprise Server is functional after configuring each of these features.
Directory service integration Integrate Connect Enterprise with your organization’s LDAP directory server so you
don’t need to manage multiple user directories. See “Integrating Connect Enterprise with a directory service” on
page 26.
Configure a secure socket layer Conduct all Connect Enterprise communication securely. See
www.adobe.com/go/connect_ssl_en.
Store content on NAS/SAN devices Use network devices to share content storage duties. See “Configuring shared
storage” on page 35.
Configure single sign-on authentication If you’ve integrated Connect Enterprise with an LDAP directory server,
allow users to access Connect Enterprise resources without logging in. See “Single sign-on” on page 37.
Configure a public key infrastructure If you’ve integrated Connect Enterprise with an LDAP directory server, add a
security layer by requiring client certificates. See “Public key infrastructure” on page 41.
Host Acrobat Connect Add-in Users can download Acrobat Connect Add-in easily from Adobe servers. However, if
your organization’s security policy doesn’t allow external downloads, host the add-in on your own server and still
retain a great user experience. See “Hosting Acrobat Connect Add-in” on page 44.
7. (Optional) Choose whether to install Connect Enterprise Server in a cluster.
For more information, see “Choosing to deploy Connect Enterprise in a cluster” on page 12 and “Deploy Connect
Enterprise Server in a cluster” on page 23.
8. (Optional) Choose whether to install edge servers.
For more information, see “Choosing to deploy edge servers” on page 14 and “Deploy Connect Edge Server” on
page 25.
Choosing to deploy Connect Enterprise in a cluster
It is possible to install all Connect Enterprise Server components, including the database, on a single server, but this
system design is best used for testing, not production.
Agroupofconnectedservers,eachdoinganidenticaljob,isusuallycalledacluster. In a Connect Enterprise Server
cluster, you install an identical copy of Connect Enterprise Server on each server in the cluster.
All computers in a cluster have copies of the same contents. If one computer in the cluster fails, another computer in
theclustercantakeoverandhostthesamemeeting.Youmustusethird-partyhardwareorsoftwaretoprovideload
balancing for the cluster. Often, load balancing hardware can also function as an SSL accelerator.
Note: In the Application Management Console you can configure shared storage so that content is stored on external
devices and cached on Connect Enterprise Server.
