Hello Richard
1) You will only need to create A record/publish DMM to the internet only if you need to authenticate users viewing the videos on the Show n Share
2) you dont need to map the FQDN. Lets suppose that the DMM FQDN is test.bnp.med.ca and it's being resolved by your DNS server to 10.20.20.3 , then you only need to a request a public A record that should be identical to your internal A record but this time is resolvable to a public ip.

Hi Richard
Did you fix your issue?. I need to make sure from the following.
1- you can access external SNS internally .
2-Natting is ok between Public & Private IP .
3-For DNS record , make sure that the name should be same inside & outside . For example internlly make it vod.bnp.med.ca , and create a public record vod.bnp.med.ca should be the same FQDN , otherwise your SNS will never work .For Authentication , you have to publish DMM.
Note: your issue that internal FQDN is different from external FQDN of SNS.

Hello Richard,
what you need to keep in mind is the following:
1) you need to allow access to the https (web server of the SNS) - Port forwarding
2) if you are using authentication, you also need to allow access to the DMM server - Port forwarding
3) if you are hosting your assets in another server e.g storage/web server within your lan you will need to allow access to this service as well
e.g public ip:443 ---> SNS private ip : 443

hi
thanks for your help , but i have already done all you mentioned above as natting without success. When i typed through internet the real IP for SNS , it redirects to internal SNS and page doesnot displayed . If you have a successful solution fo my issue , i will be so pleased for your help.

Hello
1- That is normal , that when you typed the public IP it will redirect to the hostname.
2-For mapping internal IP to external IP , this will not give you the resultls which you need to see.
Workaround
1- Create DMZ area and try to put real IPs on Cisco DMM & Cisco SNS and ask your provider to map the real IPs to FQDNs.
2- Apply these configuation on your SNS & DMM.
3- Test
Thank you

HI
1-The main problem that your internal DNS cannot see to your real IP . For eample when you edit your hosts file and type
X.X.X.X eample.care.
2- The main problem that you internal domain is not publsihed through the domain , So you will get page cannot displayed.

Hello richard,
This is happening because dmm and sns work with fqdn.this means that your private dns server has an a record for dmm and an a record for sns that are translated to the private ips. You are next move should be thay you create a public A record for both thr dmm and sns.then it shoukd work!

hello richard,
my answers below:
A) yes, our SnS is published for more than 1 year now. Ports allowed: 8443,443
B) Use case scenarion. Guests navigate to the url of the SNS: sns.test.ca . Then, they click on the Login button, they are redirected to the DMM url: dmm.test.ca . After login, they return back to the sns.test.ca
c) users will only use the published DMM url in order to get authenticated (if needed).
