Use the Sametime Contact List portlet

The Sametime Contact List portlet displays the user's contact list from a Sametime server that is set up to work with WebSphere Portal.

 

Portlet security

Users must have the appropriate access to the Sametime server that has been set up for use with Lotus Collaborative Components (LCC). LCC logs the user into Sametime, so a user does not have to enter a name and password.

By default, the LTPA token generated from WebSphere Portal is used to log the user into Sametime. As portal administrator, you can change this behavior by modifying the useLTPAToken flag in the CSEnvironment.properties file.
