Install the IBM Lotus Connections 2.5 Plug-in for Sametime

As the administrator, you can download the IBM Lotus Connections 2.5 Plug-in for Sametime and host it in a location from which your users can access it to upgrade their own Sametime clients.

The IBM Lotus Connections 2.5 Plug-in for Sametime requires Sametime version 8.0 or later.


The Lotus Connections 2.5 plugin for Sametime allows users to save chats to activities, open activities from a Sametime chat window, or save chats to a community forum. In addition, users can display contact information that is pulled directly from the Profiles server. To install the plug-in...

  1. Download the plug-in from the Lotus Connections catalog Web site:

  2. Save the update site files (site.xml file, plugins directory, and features directory) to a location on your server. The location must be one that can be addressed by a Web browser. Consult the IBM HTTP Server documentation for information on setting up addressable directories. The ht_docs is the default root of the HTML document repository.

  3. Let your users know the address from which the site is available so that they can specify it as the "New Remote Site" when they upgrade their clients to use the features. For example, if you copied the update site files to an IBM HTTP Server called /opt/IBM/IHS61/htdocs/en_US/plugins, your users could use the following Web address as the Remote Site: 

      http://myserver/plugins

  4. On the Sametime 8.0 or later server, enable your users to save chat transcripts. Otherwise, they will not be able to save chat transcripts to activities.

  5. Instruct your users to follow the steps described in the topic, Adding the Lotus Connections Plug-in for Sametime to your client, to complete the installation.
