Configure trust for the Sametime Contact List portlet
To use the Sametime Contact List portlet, you configure the IBM Lotus Sametime server so that it will trust the Lotus Sametime server application running on your WebSphere Portal server, as well as trust any additional Domino and Extended Product servers within your site.
Prerequisites
- Configure the WebSphere Portal server to recognize Lotus Sametime
If the portal environment does not use the LTPA token (UseLTPAToken is set to false in your CSEnvironment.properties file), WebSphere Portal requires this trust configuration in order to build the credentials for people awareness.
Your portal does not use the LTPA token if the Lotus Sametime server is set to authenticate with a native Lotus Domino Directory; instead, the Lotus Sametime server uses a Sametime token.
You can configure trust in one of two ways, depending on the maturity of the portal environment. In a test or development environment, you can set the Lotus Sametime server to accept the IP addresses of all other servers as trusted. Later, when you increase security, you may want to configure a restricted list of trusted server IP addresses. Select the trust configuration that is best for your environment.
For more information on the token setting in the CSEnvironment.properties file, see Set Lotus Sametime to use a Lotus Sametime token for user login.
- Configure Lotus Sametime to trust all servers
In a test or development environment, you can set the Lotus Sametime server to trust all servers. Lotus Sametime will accept the IP addresses of all other servers as trusted. You can also use configure the Lotus Sametime to trust all servers until you have the full environment setup. After you have everything working as desired, you can modify the trust configuration to make it more secure.
- Configure a restricted list of servers
Use this method when you need a more secure environment. In a production environment or after you have a functioning integrated Sametime configuration, you can configure Lotus Sametime to only trust specific servers. To accomplish this setup a list of restricted servers.
