    INTRODUCTION Breeze Installation Overview Macromedia Breeze consists of Breeze Server and its applications: Macromedia Breeze Meeting, Macromedia Breeze Presenter, Macromedia Breeze Manager, Breeze Events, and Breeze Training. Depending on the configuration purchased and the terms of your license, you may be installing one, two, or all of these applications.

  • Page 9: Chapter 1: Before You Begin

    CHAPTER 1 Before You Begin For a successful installation of Macromedia Breeze, read the information provided in this chapter. It contains the following sections: • “Basics of Breeze Server technology” on page 9 • “Planning for bandwidth requirements” on page 11 •...
  • Page 10 The web browser interacts primarily with the Breeze Server applications. When a user starts a meeting, Flash Player interacts primarily with Breeze Meeting, although there is still some interaction with Breeze Presenter. The following figure illustrates how the server hosting Breeze interacts with the user’s computer, sometimes called the client.

  • Page 11: Planning For Bandwidth Requirements

    Starting a meeting Tracing the sequence in which Breeze applications execute when users start a meeting can help you understand the primary system applications. The following list explains the typical order in which Breeze calls upon applications to place users successfully in a meeting: The web browser collects the login credentials and communicates the credentials to Breeze Server.
  • Page 12 Calculating bandwidth usage Here are some bandwidth calculations based on a meeting with audio, video, and slides. Calculations are based on 1024x768 full screen. • Room bandwidth: Modem setting One Presenter can generate about 26 Kbits/sec of data. Viewers need about 29 Kbits/sec of downstream bandwidth to have a good experience. Having more than one Presenter on a modem room setting is not recommended.

  • Page 13: Planning For Directory Services Integration

    Planning for directory services integration Directory services integration lets the Breeze administrator synchronize the Breeze internal directory of users and groups with an external source such as an organization’s LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server. The Breeze administrator can synchronize the internal and external directories on demand or at scheduled intervals.

  • Page 14: Planning For Ssl

    Directory services integration In an LDAP schema, all directory entries are arranged in a hierarchical tree-like structure that reflects the organization’s political, geographic, or administrative regions. For example, the IT administrator at a company with multiple worksites wants to let everybody in the organization use Breeze.

  • Page 15: Planning For Security

    Any application run over a network, especially the Internet, has security risks associated with it. Macromedia Breeze is no different. However, these security threats can be minimized if you give careful consideration to implementing a security plan for Macromedia Breeze.
  • Page 16 The discussion on security is divided into the following sections: • Security levels • Solutions for a secure infrastructure • Best practices • Additional references Security levels When planning a security strategy, it is important to consider the various layers in a deployed server environment, and devise a security plan for each layer.
  • Page 17 Breeze comes with its own built-in, high-performance, secure web server. This web server is based in part on Macromedia JRun Enterprise Server and has been designed specifically to serve dynamic content for Breeze, including Breeze Meetings, Breeze Presentations, Breeze Seminars, and other rich media content.
  • Page 18 Single-server configuration The easiest solution for a dedicated, single-server Breeze system is to block all ports on the server except 80, 1935, and 443 for SSL-enabled traffic. An external hardware firewall appliance provides a layer of protection against gaps in the operating system. Some organization configure layers of hardware-based firewalls to form DMZs.
  • Page 19 It is very important that you understand how to secure a multiserver installation. The following are suggestions for securing multiserver solutions. • Private networks The simplest solution for multiserver solutions in a single location is to create an extra subnet for the Breeze system.
  • Page 20 • Authors Members of the Account Authors group have access to publishing features. They can publish content to the Breeze system. • Events Administrators This group includes anyone who organizes events. An event can be any meeting, presentation, course, curriculum, or seminar that requires registration and generates reports with participant tracking information.
  • Page 21 Best practices The following is a checklist of best practices that will assist you in securing Breeze. • Protect your servers with firewalls. You should place the Breeze server behind a firewall, especially if Breeze is accessed through the Internet. If you do not place Breeze behind a firewall, you are leaving the server open for attacks.

    Breeze in a multiserver configuration. You will need a special Breeze license file to run a Breeze cluster. If your Macromedia Breeze license permits, you can install Breeze Server on two or more computers and then cluster the computers with load balancing and failover.

  • Page 24: Planning For A Breeze Server Cluster

    • Clustering Breeze allows the computers in a cluster to share session data with each other for effective load balancing and failover. Planning for a Breeze Server cluster In a Breeze Server cluster, an identical copy of Breeze is installed on each server in the cluster. Each server must be able to access the Breeze database of users and groups.

Breeze Server uses port 80 by default, which most firewalls and proxy servers allow. Breeze Meeting uses port 1935 by default, and reverts to port 443 if port 1935 is not successful. Ports 443 and 1935 are not as common to firewalls and proxy servers;...

  • Page 61: Implementing Single Sign-On

    Integrating Breeze with learning management systems All LMS integration occurs through Breeze Presenter. For more information, see Breeze Presenter User Guide. Implementing single sign-on Single sign-on (SSO) is a mechanism whereby a single action of user authentication allows a user to access all computers and applications where they have access permission without the need to enter multiple passwords.

  • Page 62: Configuring The Breeze Directory Service Integration

    Reconciling login policies Breeze and the Microsoft NTLM have different login policies for authenticating users. These policies must be reconciled before the user can employ a single login to access Breeze and other applications.

  • Page 75 Define the password policies The Breeze administrator uses the Policy Setting screen to define the password setup policy for the synchronization. Passwords are pieces of user data that are dealt with separately from the other data in an external directory. Passwords are rarely available in clear text form, if they are available at all.
  • Page 76 The administrator chooses one of the following options for how the synchronization should set the passwords for new users. The administrator determines the password policy on the Password Setup Policy screen of the Console. • Do nothing. If you have integrated Breeze with an external authentication system, there is no need for the synchronization to create new passwords just for Breeze.

  • Page 77: Configuring Ssl Support For Breeze

    Not integrating the internal and external logins means that users keep their existing network logins and Breeze passwords. IT administrators have to retain separate Breeze passwords for all users. Macromedia does not recommend this option because it is laborious for a directory service of any appreciable size.

    You can deploy Breeze with an SSL layer in one of the following ways: • A software-based solution by configuring the native support for SSL in Flash Communication Server (FCS). Use this option if you want to secure only Breeze and not the web application. You will need 2 IP addresses (2 DNS entries for the IP addresses) and 1 SSL certificate.
