Microsoft Lync Server 2010: Access Edge Policy
You can configure federation,
remote user access, and public instant messaging (IM) connectivity in the Lync Server
Control Panel for a Lync user. These settings control the following types of Lync
Server 2010 communications:
The
Enable communications with federated users setting controls whether a user can
communicate with users in another organization over a federated partner connection.
The
Enable communications with remote users setting controls whether a user in your
organization can connect through an Edge Server to Lync Server 2010 when the user
is outside of the internal network.
The
Enable communications with public users setting controls whether a user can
communicate with users of public IM service providers. Public IM connectivity requires
additional licenses. A user does not need to be enabled for federation to be enabled
for public IM connectivity.
You must first create
user policies, and then apply those policies to individual users. To use federation,
remote user access features, and public IM connectivity, you must first deploy the
appropriate Lync Server 2010 topology. To use federation and public IM connectivity,
you must enable federation and public IM connectivity at the global level.
Run the following command to see the list of available
external access policies.
