Set up Web Conferencing for Inline Team Workplaces


These instructions assume that the Meetings feature has been independently tested on the Lotus Web Conferencing (Sametime) server and is functioning properly.

Perform the following steps to set up the Inline Team Workplaces portlet to correctly create and update Sametime Meetings on a Lotus Web Conferencing server.

 

Configure the Lotus Web Conferencing server for Inline Team Workplaces

On the Lotus Web Conferencing server, perform the following tasks:

  1. Create a user name in the local Domino Directory. This user name will be used only for integration of Lotus Instant Messaging and the Inline Team Workplaces portlet.
  2. In the ACL of the STConfig.nsf database, add the new user name as a Person/Manager, and give the user, at minimum, the [SametimeAdmin] role.
  3. From the Domino program directory, copy the following files to the Domino program directory on the Lotus Team Workplace server (default is \lotus\domino):
    STMtgManagement.jar, STCore.jar, ibmjsse.jar
    
  4. Shut down and restart the Lotus Web Conferencing server.

 

Configuring the Lotus Team Workplace server for Inline Team Workplaces

On the Lotus Team Workplace server, perform the following tasks:

  1. Locate the notes.ini setting that begins with JavaUserClassesExt and append the following information to that line:
    QPJC7,QPJC8,QPJC9.
    
  2. Add the following three lines to the end of that section of settings:
    QPJC7=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\ibmjsse.jar 
    
    QPJC8=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\STCore.jar 
    
    QPJC9=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\STMtgManagement.jar 
    
  3. Check the resulting section to make sure it looks like this:
    JavaUserClassesExt=QPJC1,QPJC2,QPJC3,QPJC4,QPJC5,QPJC6,QPJC7,QPJC8,QPJC9 
    
    QPJC1=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\quickplace.jar 
    
    QPJC2=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\xercesImpl.jar 
    
    QPJC3=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\xalan.jar 
    
    QPJC4=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\xml-apis.jar 
    
    QPJC5=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\log4j-118compat.jar 
    
    QPJC6=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\data\domino\java\cs.jar 
    
    QPJC7=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\ibmjsse.jar 
    
    QPJC8=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\STCore.jar 
    
    QPJC9=C:\LOTUS\DOMINO\STMtgManagement.jar
    
  4. In the Domino Data directory, make a copy of the qpconfig_sample.xml file and name it qpconfig.xml.
  5. Open the qpconfig.xml file and go to the <sametime> section. Within the <credentials> element, add the name and password of the user you created while configuring the Lotus Web Conferencing server. More detailed information on the XML is provided in qpconfig_sample.xml.
    <sametime local_users="false" ldap="true"> 
    
    <meetings invite_servers="false"> 
    
    <tools> 
    
    <audio enabled="true"/> 
    
    <video enabled="true"/> 
    
    </tools> 
    
    <credentials> 
    
    <dn>cn=John Doe/o=Enterprise</dn> 
    
    <password>password</password> 
    
    </credentials> 
    
    </meetings> 
    
    </sametime> 
    

    Note The <local_users> attribute should be "false." Team Workplaces 6.5.1 does not support local users using Lotus Instant Messaging.
