EASI Passport Domains, PIC and LCS 2005
Dennis pointed me to the following change when using PIC (Public Internet Connectivity). I can't find anything on the LCS website about this - so thought I'd reproduce his blog here. I blogged about PIC connectivity in the past - so here's an update...
As opposed to the information in KB897567 Rev. 3.0 with the short name "Known issues that occur with public instant messaging after you install Office Live Communications Server Service Pack 1" EASI domains are now supported. Previously only domains like hotmail.com, messengeruser.com etc. were supported with MSN Messenger connectivity but now domains/addresses like dlt@inceptio.dk are also fully supported .
If you are considering using PIC then there are many interesting quirks documented in the KB article. One of them is that the MPOP functionality doesn’t work together with MSN/Yahoo/AOL (MPOP is Multiple Points Of Presence where Office Communicator 2005 supports being logged on to several devices at the same time - including the upcoming Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile).
Furthermore, if you're using multiple domains in LCS then be sure to get a public certificate from a provider that supports Subject Alternative Names .
Thanks to Dennis for the links....
