Chapter 1 Configuring Application Acceleration
Enabling and Disabling the Global Optimization Features
You must have at least one account configured, either user or machine, that is configured with a domain
identity. Each device can support up to 5 domain identities,1 machine account identity and 4 user account
identities. This allows a WAAS device to accelerate up to 5 domain trees. You must configure a domain
identity for each domain with an exchange server that has clients to be accelerated.
a. Configure the machine account identity.
A machine account for the core device was automatically created during the join process in the
Windows Domain Server authentication procedure in the previous step. If you are using a machine
account, a machine account identity must be configured for this account.
Each device only supports one machine account identity.
To configure a machine account identity, see the “Configuring a Machine Account Identity” section
on page 1-15.
b. Create and configure optional user accounts.
You may utilize up to four optional user accounts for additional security. Multiple user accounts
provide greater security than having all of the core devices using a single user account. You are
required to configure a user account identity for each user account, whether you are utilizing an
existing user account or creating a new one.
To create a user account and configure a user account identity, see the “Creating and Configuring a
User Account” section on page 1-17.
Step 8 Enable Windows Domain Encrypted Service. (Enabled by default.)
a. From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name (or Device Groups >
device-group-name).
b. From the menu, choose Configure > Security > Windows Domain > Encrypted Services. The
Encrypted Services window appears.
c. Check the Enable Encrypted Service check box.
d. Click Submit to save your changes.
Step 9 Enable Encrypted MAPI Traffic Optimization.
From the Enabled Features window, check the Encrypted MAPI Traffic Optimization check box (the
MAPI Accelerator check box must also be checked), and click Submit. Encrypted MAPI traffic
optimization is disabled by default.
Note The Encrypted MAPI feature is in extended beta trials. You must contact
waas-emapi-cs@external.cisco.com with your Cisco account team on the cc: for approvals
before enabling this feature. Only approved customers will be supported for beta evaluations.
For more information on the Enabled Features window, see the “Enabling and Disabling the Global
Optimization Features” section on page 1-3.
Configuring a Machine Account Identity
To configure an identity for a machine account, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name (or Device Groups >
device-group-name).
