Having trouble wrapping my head around this one.
Have an existing webapplication on Port 80 called http:\\www.mycompanyname.ca in the **Default** zone.
In addition to this site being access internally, it will also need to be accessed externally so I was planning on 'Extending' the web application to Port 443 with SSL. Hostname will be https:\\www.mycompanyname.ca and I will put it in the **Internet** zone.
The SharePoint farm has 2 load-balanced webservers. The Network guys want to put a cert named *.mycompanyname.ca on the Load Balancer and terminate SSL on there so traffic is all decrypted between the load balancer and the webservers.
Here comes the Alternate Access Mapping configuration in SharePoint. I'm trying to piece together disparate pieces of information on this and it just isn't coming together for me. Do I need to set up a mapping in AAM as follows:
Internal Address - http:\\www.mycompanyname.ca maps to Public URL - https:\\www.mycompanyname.ca
If this is true, then won't regular port 80 traffic coming in thru the Load Balancer also have this mapping done to it as well? I.e. links changed to https? I would appreciate any help you could give me.
