Integrate with IBM Lotus Sametime
Configure the LotusSametimeserver and Lotus Sametime portlets requires a set of tasks performed on both the Lotus Sametime server and the portal server.
Configure a Lotus Sametime server with secure socket layers (SSL) is not recommended when using a multiplexer server to manage traffic on the Lotus Sametime server. If you configure SSL on the multiplexer, WebSphere Portal will no longer be able to communicate through the multiplexer. See Technote 1086354.
This topic lists the required procedures for configuring the following portlets to work with both the Lotus Sametime server and the portal server:
- Sametime Contact List
- Who Is Here
- 1. Configure single sign-on
How you configure single sign-on between IBM WebSphere Portal and IBM Lotus Sametime depends on the directory that each server uses to authenticate.
2. Configure the WebSphere Portal server to recognize Lotus Sametime
You configure the WebSphere Portal server to recognize the Lotus Sametime server so that Lotus Collaborative Services can use that server for the Sametime portlets.
3. 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 IBM WebSphere Portal server, as well as trust any additional Domino and Extended Product servers within site.
4. Configure Sametime to be case sensitive
To ensure Awareness works correctly, configure Lotus Sametime to be case sensitive.
People awareness makes people's names appear as hyperlinks that users can click to display information about the individual and gain access to actions for contacting and working with him or her. If the administrator has configured an IBM Lotus Sametime server to work with WebSphere Portal, users can see each other's online presence in their person links according to the status options they have set in their Lotus Sametime client (for example, whether the person is active, away, offline, or does not want to be disturbed). The person's online status appears only if Lotus Sametime is enabled.
You can use reference information on the Lotus Sametime portlets when you modify their parameters in Administration. This portlets reference also includes information on new features in the current release, client and server requirements, and deployment/installation.
