[MacTUG] Observation about VPN and Skype for Business

[Sean Speers]

Local (on-campus or vpn) s4b servers use a non-public globalsign root.  That may be your issue.


Have to install it:

I deploy a pkg that installs them to our managed Macs, if you want the pkg I put it up here: https://arts.uwaterloo.ca/~sean/gs-certs.pkg

Hi Marlon,

I disconnect VPN and then I was able to sign in to  Skype. I'll try to
get a hold of a colleague to see if it works.

Bill.

Hi Bill,

Actually, my knowledge of skype for business (SfB) is minimal and since
I am working from home, I can't test it.

I have gotten a reference for mac users,
https://wiki.uwaterloo.ca/display/ISTKB/Configure+Skype+for+Business+on+Mac,
from a mutual IST contact of Steve and myself. The instructions look
complete from my limited knowledge.

Before, trying the instructions, a simple question, 'are you using the
vpn?' I would ensure that that was working correctly,
https://wiki.uwaterloo.ca/display/ISTKB/Install+the+VPN+client+on+Mac+OS,
and try SfB first just to verify that it is not the vpn.

Let us know the results. If it doesn't work then we can get you in-touch
with the IST guru.

Hope this helps,
Marlon
