Schools Broadband, Netsweeper and Single Domain

[snagrat]

Is anyone running a single domain across multiple sites/schools who use Schools Broadband and Netsweeper?

 

I will be implementing this during the summer for 10 schools and am trying to figure out what I would need to do for the authportal to work.

 

In my head I am thinking we will need to have the authportal hosted in one school that is accessible to all for authentication requests. My concern is what performance impact this may have if all authentication requests need to be served by the authportal.

 

Any feedback on those doing this already would be appreciated

Do you have a way of providing a different DNS entry for each school?

 

I would try and run an auth portal at each site - you'd just need to change the DNS entry according to the client's site. You want to minimise latency as much as possible for this.

I cannot see how I can do this via DNS as each site’s DNS will be the same.

 

The only method to have authportal at each site is to name each one differently but that will require new certificates which SB provide

Wow thanks.

 

Seems like that will do it and if I read it correctly it’s just a registry change on each DNS server
