Dane,<br><br>Regarding your first question:<br><br>Traffic does not have to flow through the asa just to it and then it
will proxy the info correct? Meaning I don't have to put the asa
facing my internet connection it can just be a host with a private
address.<br><br>You provision the phone to connect to the DNS Domain Name of the ASA Interface. The DNS Domain Name must resolve to the IP of the outside ASA interface. The certificate must be for this DNS name. If your phones have wireless connections (besides cellular) you could provision an internal IP and DNS domain name for the ASA's outside interface. If your phones must use the cell provider's data connection then you must have a public (Internet) facing ASA interface as well as a fully resolving domain name and matching certificate for that name.<br>
<br>Regarding the second question:<br><br>Can I use a self signed certificate with the iphone client for test?
Do I have to purchase a trusted root one? If so it referances verisign
or geotrust. Would a cheaper vendor like godaddy for 30 bucks a year
work?<br><br>The reason Cisco supports only Geotrust and Verisign is that the ASA needs to present a certificate that your cell phone can trust. We can only guarantee that at a minimum the Geotrust and Verisign root certs will come preloaded on your phone.<br>
<br>If you can get the root cert for GoDaddy uploaded to your cell phone then there is nothing to stop you from using that on your ASA. Cisco will not support the process of loading root certificates into different cell phones though, so you'd be on your own for figuring out if that is possible for your model of phone.<br>
<br>Hope this helps.<br><br>Jason<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 25, 2009 at 10:32 AM, Dane Newman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dane.newman@gmail.com">dane.newman@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>I want to test unified monility advantage in a lab and I was curious about the certificate requirements. I am able to run my asa on vmware esxi and hang it off my dmz. Traffic does not have to flow through the asa just to it and then it will proxy the info correct? Meaning I don't have to put the asa facing my internet connection it can just be a host with a private address.</div>

<div>I see one of the requirements is below. Can I use a self signed certificate with the iphone client for test? Do I have to purchase a trusted root one? If so it referances verisign or geotrust. Would a cheaper vendor like godaddy for 30 bucks a year work?</div>

<h3>Certificate Requirements </h3><a name="1248c20be7afc067_wp82686"></a>
<p>The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance requires a signed certificate from VeriSign or GeoTrust. These certificates are supported because they are generally available on all mobile devices. </p></div>
