Testing Lync server 2013 external URLs from Lync clients (external web service, meet, office webapps, lyncdiscover and dialin)

项目

Hi there,

In this blog post, I’ll be talking about another powershell based tool which could be used to check name resolution, TCP layer connectivity and SSL/TLS negotiation for various URLs that are accessible through your reverse proxy which are:

- External web services URL

- Meet URL

- Office WebApps URL

- Lyncdiscover URL

- Dialin URL

When the tool is run, you can see if the given URL is successfully resolved to a name. If name resolution succeeds, a TCP session is attempted to the target and if the TCP session successfully created an SSL/TLS negotiation is done with the target URL. And if that succeeds as well, the subject names and subject alternative names in the returned certificate are dumped by the tool. Also expiration time of each certificate is dumped.

You’ll have to provide each URL manually (actually I was planning to read all such details from topology file removing the requirement of manual input but due to some issues I decided to enter the information manual for the time being).

Such URL details could be easily obtained from your topology file:

- External Web services FQDN:

- Meet URL and Dialin URL:

- Office WebApps URL:

- Lyncdiscover URL:

Lyncdiscover URL is built by adding “lyncdiscover” to the beginning of sip domain. Examples:

lyncdiscover.contoso.com

lyncdiscover.fabrikam.com

=> Here is the full Powershell script source:

#------------SCRIPT STARTS HERE-----------

# ResolveLyncNames() resolves various Lync names to IP addresses

function ResolveLyncNames {

param($LyncFqdn)

try {

$ipaddr = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses($LyncFqdn)

Write-Host "Successfully resolved $LyncFqdn to $ipaddr" -ForegroundColor Green

return 1

}

catch {

$exception = New-Object system.net.sockets.socketexception

$errorcode = $exception.ErrorCode

write-host "Name resolution failed, error code:$errorcode" -foregroundcolor Red

write-host "Error details: $exception" -foregroundcolor Red

return 0

}

# TLSConnectionCheck() establishes TLS session to remote host at the given TCP port

function TLSConnectionCheck {

param ($remotehost,$remoteport)

try {

$TCPConnection = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.Tcpclient($remotehost, $remoteport)

Write-Host "TCP connection has succeeded" -ForegroundColor Green

$TCPStream = $TCPConnection.GetStream()

Write-Host "SSL authentication has succeeded" -ForegroundColor Green

}

return

}

$certificate = $SSLStream.get_remotecertificate()

$SANextensions = New-Object system.security.cryptography.x509certificates.x509Certificate2Collection($certificateX509)

Write-Host "Please make sure that Subject name and Subject alternative names in the certificate are compatible with the names given in https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg429704.aspx" -BackgroundColor DarkCyan

Write-Host "Wildcard names in SAN are supported for meet, dialin and Lyncdiscover URLs. Please see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202161.aspx for more details" -BackgroundColor DarkCyan

}

catch {

Write-Host "$remotehost doesn't support SSL connections at TCP port $remoteport" -foregroundcolor Red

}

catch {

$exception = New-Object system.net.sockets.socketexception

$errorcode = $exception.ErrorCode

write-host "TCP connection to $remotehost failed, error code:$errorcode" -foregroundcolor Red

write-host "Error details: $exception" -foregroundcolor Red

}

For WAC that is not all true. Your WAC is deployed at external network so Topology builder show correct external fqdn address. If WAC is deployed internal then very often for external access is defined fqdn with internet domain.
