Recommendation for Server

I plan to deploy Intel Unite with 30 hub.

What is the hardware recommendation for the Enterprise server?

Should I use self-Signed certificate?

Thanks,

MT

Tran27: Thank you very much for contacting the Intel® Unite™ app communities. We will do our best effort to deliver the information you are requesting.

 

 

As stated on your previous thread, you can use any type of hardware that complies with the requirements showing on the deployment guide:

 

/thread/118248 https://communities.intel.com/thread/118248

 

 

In regard to your question about using the self-signed certificate, I will do further research on that subject and as soon as I get any updates I will post all the details on this thread.

 

 

Any further questions, please let me know.

Tran27: Based on the research I did on this matter, I can confirm that yes, it is a requirement to use self-signed certificates.

 

 

Server requirements:

Microsoft Internet Information Services with SSL enabled • This will require a SHA2 based web server certificate with an internal or public root of trust. Page 8

 

 

As a security upgrade, the application accepts only SHA-2 or greater certificates. This may require you to upgrade the certificates on your web server. Work with your IT Security team to get SHA-2 certificates during setup. Page 9

 

 

Ensure SSL is enabled in IIS (https sites should work). NOTE: This may require you to work with your IT department to install a SHA-2 certificate with a valid root of trust. Page 12

 

 

The latest version of Intel Unite solution only accepts SHA-2 certificates or greater. You should work with your IT department to ensure the trusted web server certificate issued is a SHA-2 certificate and the certification path is valid. For a test environment, obtain a SHA-2 certificate or disable encryption in your environment. o To use Unite without encryption, skip the next steps that provide details on Site Bindings for secure port 443 and proceed to install MS SQL Server and prepare the DNS service record. You also need to make sure that the service is found on port 80 when a DNS service record is created. o Another way to skip the certificate check is to add the registry in the machine account of the hub and client. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Intel\Unite\AllowInsecureCertificates (DWORD) [1 if certificate algorithm check should be skipped, 0 otherwise. (if value is 0, we force the enterprise certificate to use a SHA2 certificate)]. Page 64

Tran27: I just received an update on your inquiry and actually the Intel® Unite Enterprise works with HTTPS under the TCP protocol, so, you just need to open the TCP 443 port.

Any questions, please let me know.
