Thanks so much. On page 28 of your deployment guide for SharePoint ( link text) it states:

 

"On each IIS server that is a member of the SharePoint pool, open IIS Manager and then highlight the web site that corresponds to your web application. From the task pane, click Bindings. Add a binding for port 443 listening on all IP addresses and select a certificate to use for HTTPS access to the SharePoint web application. This must be the same certificate used in the BIG-IP LTM configuration, and must have all of the host names of the SharePoint Pool member servers added to it in the Subject Alternative Name field."

 

Since we have a wildcard cert on the client-F5 end and a specific on the backend, do we still need the host names of the SP servers added to the backend cert in the Subject Alternative name field?

 

Thanks again, Emer
