Configure Sametime Proxy

If IBM WebSphere Portal and IBM Sametime are both authenticating with the same LDAP server, SSO configuration is simple.

1. Install WebSphere Portal and configure it with an LDAP.

2. Install and configure the IBM Domino 8.5.2 server.

3. Install and configure the Lotus Notes Administrator client.

4. Install the IBM Sametime server with the IBM Domino 8.5.2 server and configure the same LDAP we used with WebSphere Portal.

5. Install the Sametime Proxy server with the Sametime server. Configure it to work with the WebSphere Portal server.

6. Reboot the Sametime Proxy sever and the WebSphere Portal server.

Only users in the LDAP will have awareness functions. Use the following steps to configure WebSphere Portal with the Sametime Proxy server.

Configure Sametime single sign on to work with WebSphere Portal.

1. Install WebSphere Portal v8.5.

2. Log in to the WAS Integrated Solutions Console and click Security > Global Security.

3. Click Web and SIP security > Single Sign-on SSO.

6. Enter a password for the token, then enter a path for the token.

7. Click Export Keys and then OK.

8. Save to Master Configuration.

9. Copy the key to the Sametime Proxy server machine.

10. Open the Address Book for the domain.

11. Open the Web > Web Configuration section. Open the Web SSO Configuration twistie and delete the existing token.

12. Click the Configuration tab. Click Server > All Server documents.

    There must be a period at the beginning of the domain.
