Instalimi Farm MOSS të Vogla dhe të Luftës Konfigurimi Story

Këtë javë, I’ve struggled a bit with my team to get MOSS installed in a simple two-server farm. Having gone through it, I have a greater appreciation for the kinds of problems people report on the MSDN forums and elsewhere.

The final farm configuration:

  • SQL/Index/Intranet WFE inside the firewall.
  • WFE in the DMZ.
  • Some kind of firewall between the DMZ and the internal server.

Before we started the project, we let the client know which ports needed to be open. During the give and take, back and forth over that, we never explicitly said two important things:

  1. SSL means you need a certificate.
  2. The DMZ server must be part of a domain.

Day one, we showed up to install MOSS and learned that the domain accounts for database and MOSS hadn’t been created. To move things along, we went ahead and installed everything with a local account on the intranet server.

Në këtë pikë, Ne kemi zbuluar konfuzionin mbi certifikatë SSL dhe, trishtim, decided to have our infrastructure guy come back later that week to continue installing the DMZ server. Në kohë të thotë, ne arkitektë zgjidhje lëvizur përpara me sende të biznesit.

Një fundjavë shkon nga dhe klienti merr certifikatën.

Djalë ynë infrastruktura tregon dhe zbulon se serveri DMZ nuk është i bashkuar për çdo domain (ose një domain rrethues me besim të kufizuar ose domain intranet). We wasted nearly a 1/2 ditë në të cilat. If we hadn’t let the missing SSL certificate bog us down, we would have discovered this earlier. Oh well….

Another day passes and the various security committees, interested parties and (not so) innocent bystanders all agree that it’s OK to join the DMZ server with the intranet domain (this is a POC, në fund të fundit, not a production solution).

Infrastructure guy comes in to wrap things up. This time we successfully pass through the the modern-day gauntlet affectionately known as the "SharePoint Configuration Wizard." We have a peek in central administration and … yee haw! … DMZ server is listed in the farm. We look a little closer and realize we broke open the Champaign a mite bit early. WSS services is stuck in a "starting" status.

Long histori e shkurtër, it turns out that we forgot to change the identity of the service account via central administration from the original local account to the new domain account. We did that, re-ran the configuration wizard and voila! We were in business.

5 mendime mbi "Instalimi Farm MOSS të Vogla dhe të Luftës Konfigurimi Story

    It’s perfectly ok to have your SQL in a different Vlan/subnet than your WFEs. In fact it’s recommended, after all as mentioned before, what Security expert is going to let you stick SQL in the dmz? The recommendation is that your SQL traffic does NOT use the same interface cards as the user traffic, however even this connection may pas through a firewall for additional protection.
    The restriction related to multiple WFEs in a farm environment relates to if you’re using Microsoft load balancing, then these must all be in the same VLan.

    I can almost beat your SSL certificate issue. We had everything created and were ready to extend the web app with SSL (then redirect port 80 in IIS). The administrator had a .cer file ready to go. But NONE of the options or crazy contortions to apply it in IIS will work–the site always displays a blank page like the site collection doesn’t exist.

    After much banging of heads, we learned this was caused by the cert request not coming from that server. The administrator simply asked for a cert and was emailed the resulting key. With no private key, the SSL tunnel could not get built between the WFE and the browser. We wasted 1/2 ditë në të cilat.

    Shumë interesante! I highly doubt that it shouldn’t be supported to host the WFE’s in one VLAN/DMZ and APP/SQL in another VLAN/DMZ.
    Artikujt TechNet rreth mbështetura nga skenarët Extranet ende nuk ka ndonjë rezerva, ose – but TechNet could be incorrect 🙂 None of our clients would allow their SQL Servers to sit on the same VLAN/DMZ as the WFE, kështu që unë sinqerisht shpresoj MS got it wrong.
    Mund të shpreheni mbi çfarë duhet të jetë problem me konfigurimin e pështypje? Arsyet Performance vetëm? A mos ata në fakt do të thotë se E WFE duhet të jetë në të njëjtën VLAN / DMZ? Kjo do të bëjë më shumë kuptim për mua.
    Sinqerisht,

    Kjo është një pyetje shumë e mirë.
    We are tracking very closely to the MS documentation, so I can’t imagine how they would refuse to support it. Kjo tha, I am not an infrastructure person, so it’s possible that I’m abusing terms in my post.
    As I understand it, the correct approach is to have (të paktën) two AD domains. One internal domain and one in the perimeter network. The perimeter network’s AD would have a "limited trust" relationship with the internal AD.
    But you probably already know all that 🙂
    Bottom line, Unë nuk e di. We did not receive or look directly to Microsoft for guidance on this one.

    Is this configuration supported? At the SharePoint Conference in Seattle in March, I was chatting with some Microsoft Engineers and they said that supported configurations do not allow WFEs to cross VLANs or routers. I assume that since the WFE is in a DMZ, it is crossing some sort of firewall/router or is in its own VLAN.
    So basically the DB and WFE/App Servers all have to be on the same VLAN.
    They were really adamant about this–it’s actually a slide in the ‘Geographical’ deployment session if you have access to the deck.
    I’ve read TechNet articles that illustrate sample configurations that contradict their statements, but the MS guys basically said that TechNet is wrong.
