Abstract
Digital certificates are distributed to WAN optimization modules in organization and content delivery networks to securely optimize network traffic. The content delivery network identifies edge WAN optimization modules for use with each combination of organizations and their cloud services and distributes digital certificates accordingly. Peering digital certificates for establishing inner connections between organization and edge WAN optimization modules are exchanged via one or more management portals. Shadow digital certificates for establishing outer connections between WAN optimization modules and clients are generated in the form of certificate signing requests. Configuration information identifies any additional cloud services associated with a given cloud service and generate corresponding additional certificate signing requests. Certificate signing requests are digitally signed by a certificate signing authority associated with the organization and then returned via the one or more management portals to the allocated edge WAN optimization modules. Digital certificates may be rotated for security purposes.
