The extranet cluster URLs are used by AD RMS clients that are outside of your internal network to connect to the AD RMS cluster for licensing and certification. Be sure to register the URLs in your Domain Name System (DNS), and verify that it is available from the Internet.
If you are adding extranet cluster URLs to an existing AD RMS cluster, new client licensor certificates (CLC) must be obtained by the current AD RMS clients. The extranet cluster URLs are added to the Extranet-License-Acquisition-URL field in the issuance license and used in AD RMS client service discovery.
Membership in the local AD RMS Enterprise Administrators, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
