2 DMZ Servers and 1 STS?

asked on January 16, 2019

In the documentation "Configuring Single Sign On For Laserfiche Web Products" on page 13 it states "SSO for the web client can be configured from the web client’s configuration page. The web client supports authenticating to an STS instance that is on a separate computer from the Directory Server.".

I would like to get clarification on this statement. Does this mean that If I have 2 servers in the DMZ, I can setup and configure STS on server 1 and have server 2 use the STS on server 1? Or do I have to have STS configured on both server 1 and server 2?

Web servers can authenticate to an STS instance on another computer. So you only need the STS on one computer in the DMZ.

When Forms or the Web Client communicate with the STS, is it just over port 443?

Yes

And the STS is just for authentication to LFDS, correct? In other words Forms still needs to be able to communicate with the internal forms and SQL servers on its respective ports?

Yes. The STS does nothing else. For details on a few possible configurations for Forms, see this white paper.
