If your collaborative site requires optional configuration that is not accomplished by the tasks that you run on the IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal Express server to integrate IBM Lotus^® Domino^® and the Extended Products, you can modify the operation of the collaborative servers and portlets in various ways by manually editing the Lotus Collaborative Services environment properties file,

CSEnvironment.properties

...on the WebSphere Portal Express server.

The file is installed in the following directory:

Windows:

portal_server_root\shared\app\config

Linux:

portal_server_root/shared/app/config

i5/OS:

portal_server_root_user/shared/app/config

This file contains the following information about the portal environment:

• A flag to indicate whether the Collaborative Services are being used within the portal context

• Location, protocol, port and version of IBM Lotus QuickPlace^® server

• Location, protocol, port and version of Lotus Domino Directory server

• Location, protocol, port and version of IBM Lotus Sametime^® server

• Configuration and performance tuning settings specific to Collaborative Services.

See the list of related topics for the instructions on editing this properties file, and a number of use cases in which the solution is a modification to the file.

1. Edit the CSEnvironment.properties file
2. Set Lotus Sametime to use a Lotus Sametime token for user login
3. Customize communication between Lotus Sametime and Collaborative Services for name resolution and clustering
4. Resolve the portal user's log-in name with the user name on the Lotus Sametime server
5. Enable awareness when Lotus Sametime authenticates with a native Domino Directory
6. Configure people awareness to work across Domino Directory and a non-Domino portal LDAP directory
7. Auto-detect user mail information from a secondary LDAP server
8. Customize Collaborative Services user credentials for eTrust SiteMinder
9. Support automatic mail detection with an LDAP directory other than Lotus Domino
