Avaya Workplace Certificates

[homemade88]

Hi all,

I'm tasked to setup a demo that includes working softphones via Workplace, my knowledge of certificates doesn't run too deep unfortunately though, My question is, am I able to get about three Workplace softphones between Apple and Android devices working without having to pay for certificates? If it IS possible, can someone explain how to go about it please? It's a demo Server Edition that I'm using with a virtual IPO.

Not sure of the exact URL requirements but I've always just created a distinct URL for my pbx and my app server, with my domain. E.g. customerName-pbx.procom.ie, customerName-app.procom.ie. I setup my certs on

http://www.ssls.com,

the cheapest option there works a treat. It's always better to get proper certs at that price and test on a proper environment. If you try avoid this bit you will hit many issues that will end up costing more than the cert. My twopence worth

I've done this with Letsencrypt certificates (using a Linux machine to generate them). They only last for 3 months at a time but they are free.

For production I generate certificates using my own CA and install the root CA as part of the auto provisioning process.
