o
External:
Select if the registered service connects to the management server with a public IP address.
o
Trusted:
Select if the registered service should be trusted immediately (this is often the case, but the
option gives you the flexibility to add the registered service and then mark it as trusted by editing the
registered service later).
Note that changing the trusted state will also change the state of other registered services sharing one or
more of the URLs defined for the registered service in question.

Network Configuration
With the network configuration settings you specify the RC-E management server's server LAN and WAN addresses
in order for the RC-E management server and the trusted servers to be able to communicate.
1. In
the
Add/Remove Registered Services
window, click
Network
...
2. Specify the LAN and/or WAN IP address of the OnSSI RC-E management server.
If all involved servers (both the OnSSI RC-E management server and the trusted servers or the required
OnSSI RC-C) are on your local network, you can simply specify the LAN address. If one or more involved
servers access the system through an internet connection, you must also specify the WAN address.

Important Prerequisites When Running Federated Sites
The easiest way to make federated architecture work correctly is to prepare your RC-E system for this feature during
installation. There are certain important prerequisites that you must ensure already at the time of installing your
management server. This can be done in different ways - choose between the procedures in alternative 1-3:
Alternative 1: Connect Sites from the Same Domain (with Common Domain User) and
Customize the Installation of the Management Server to the Federated Architecture
Before installation of the management server, a common domain user should be created and used as the
administrator on all computers involved in the federated architecture. Depending on whether you select
Custom
or
Typical
during installation of the management server, make sure to select the appropriate procedure. Note that a
typical installation requires more configuration on all sites before federated will work properly.
Custom
installation:
1. Start the management server installation (see "Install Management Server" on page 13) and select
Custom
.
2.
Select to install the Management Server service using a user account.
The selected user account must be the administrator on all management servers and must also be used
when installing the other management servers in the federated setup.
3.
Finish the installation.
4.
Repeat steps 1-3 to install any other RC-E systems you want to connect in the federated architecture.
5.
See Adding a Site to the Hierarchy (see "Manage OnSSI Federated Architecture" on page 177) for
details on how to proceed.
