Configure the WebSphere Portal server to recognize Lotus Sametime

You configure the WebSphere Portal server to recognize the LotusSametimeserver so that Lotus Collaborative Services can use that server for the Sametime portlets.

WebSphere Portal supports different topologies when integrating with Lotus Sametime. The following instructions apply to all supported topologies. Steps that only apply to specific topology are marked optional. Read the optional steps to determine if the step applies to configuration. When you update the CSEnvironment.properties file, some of the properties that define may be commented. If so, uncomment the property and set it as instructed.

  1. Stop WebSphere Portal:

    1. Open a command prompt and change to the following directory:

        Windows™: WP_PROFILE/bin

        UNIX™: WP_PROFILE/bin

        IBMi: WP_PROFILE/bin

    2. Enter the following command to stop the WebSphere_Portal server, where WebSphere_Portal is the name of the WebSphere Portal server:

        Windows: stopServer.bat WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password foo

        UNIX: ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password foo

        IBM i: stopServer WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password foo

  2. Locate the CSEnvironment.properties file and make a backup copy before changing any values.

      The file is located in...

        Windows: WP_PROFILE/PortalServer/config/config

        UNIX: WP_PROFILE/PortalServer/config/config

        i: WP_PROFILE/PortalServer/config/config

  3. Configure the CSEnvironment.properties file to integrate with Lotus Sametime.

    1. Open the CSEnvironment.properties file in a text editor.

    2. Find the CS_SERVER_SAMETIME.enable property in the file and set it to true.

        Set the property to true enables the Sametime integration. 

        CS_SERVER_SAMETIME.enable=true

    3. Find the CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.hostname and set it as the fully qualified host name for Sametime server. 

        CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.hostname=sametimeserver.domain.com

    4. Find the CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.version property and set the version of the server. If Sametime is authenticating with a Native Domino LDAP, set the property to 3.0. 

        CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.version=8.0

    5. Set the following properties as shown: 

        CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.protocol=http
CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.port=80
 
CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.useLTPAToken=true
CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.dnAuthorSeparator=/
CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.watchnameformat=dn

  4. Optional. If Sametime authenticates with a Native Domino LDAP, uncomment the following property. 

      CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.dnNameSeparator=/

  5. Optional. In a dual directory configuration where WebSphere Portal authenticates with a non-Domino directory server and Lotus Sametime authenticates with either the Native Domino LDAP or a Domino LDAP server, set one additional property: 

      CS_SERVER_SAMETIME_1.nameFormatForResolve=dn

  6. Save the changes to CSEnvironment.properties.

  7. Restart the portal server:

    1. Open a command prompt and change to the following directory:

        Windows: WP_PROFILE/bin

        UNIX: WP_PROFILE/bin

        IBM i: WP_PROFILE/bin

    2. Enter the following command to start the WebSphere_Portal server, where WebSphere_Portal is the name of the WebSphere Portal server:

        Windows: startServer.bat WebSphere_Portal

        UNIX: ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

        IBM i: startServer WebSphere_Portal
