Configuring the WebSphere Portal Express server to recognize Lotus Sametime

You run the IBM^® Lotus^® Sametime^® configuration task on the IBM WebSphere^® Portal Express server. Running the task allows WebSphere Portal Express to recognize the presence of the Lotus Sametime server so that Lotus Collaborative Services can use the server for the Sametime portlets.

Commands are case sensitive.

For security reasons, you should not store passwords in the wpconfig.properties file. Edit the wpconfig.properties file before running a configuration task, inserting the passwords needed for that task. Then, after the task has run, delete all passwords from the wpconfig.properties file.

Perform the following steps to run the configuration task:

1. Use the following commands to stop WebSphere Portal Express:

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

      • Windows: wp_profile_root\bin
      • Linux: wp_profile_root/bin
      • i5/OS: wp_profile_root/bin
   2. Enter the following command to stop the WebSphere_Portal server:

      • Windows: stopServer.bat WebSphere_Portal -user admin_userid -password admin_password
      • Linux: ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -user admin_userid -password admin_password
      • i5/OS: stopServer WebSphere_Portal -profileName profile_root -user admin_userid -password admin_password
   where profile_root is the name of the WebSphere Application Server profile where WebSphere Portal Express is installed; for example wp_profile.Note: The default name of the application server is the profile name. If you intend to use a Lotus Domino LDAP Directory with Lotus Sametime, follow the steps for Configuring the WebSphere Portal Express server to recognize Lotus Domino and the Collaborative Services.
2. Locate the wpconfig.properties file and make a backup copy before changing any values. The file is located in the following directory:

   Windows: wp_profile_root\ConfigEngine\properties

   Linux: wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties

   i5/OS (UserData): wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties

3. Use a text editor to open the wpconfig.properties file and enter the appropriate values for your environment. Note the following:

   • Do not change any settings other than those specified in these steps.
   • Use / instead of \ for all platforms.
   • Some values, shown in italics below, may need to be modified to your specific environment.

   Section of properties file: Lotus Sametime Properties

   Property	Value
   LCC.Sametime.Enabled	Description: The property that determines whether Lotus Sametime is enabled. Note: Setting LCC.Sametime.Enabled to true enables this component. Setting the value to false disables it. Recommended Value: true Default Value: false
   LCC.Sametime.Server	Description: The name of the Lotus Sametime server. Recommended Value: my.server.com Default Value: my.server.com
   LCC.Sametime.Protocol	Description: The protocol used to connect to the Lotus Sametime server. Recommended Value: http Default Value: http
   LCC.Sametime.Port	Description: The port number for the Lotus Sametime server. Recommended Value: 80 Default Value: 80

4. Save the file.
5. Change to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory and type the following command: Windows:

   ConfigEngine.bat lcc-configure-sametime

   Linux:

   ./ConfigEngine.sh lcc-configure-sametime

   i5/OS (UserData):

   ConfigEngine.sh -profileName profile_root lcc-configure-sametime

6. Check the output for any error messages. If you encounter an error, check the appropriate logs file for more information.
7. Use the following commands to start WebSphere Portal Express:

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

      • Windows: wp_profile_root\bin
      • Linux: wp_profile_root/bin
      • i5/OS: wp_profile_root/bin
   2. Enter the following command to start the WebSphere_Portal server:

      • Windows: startServer.bat WebSphere_Portal
      • Linux: ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal
      • i5/OS: startServer WebSphere_Portal -profileName profile_root
      where profile_root is the name of the WebSphere Application Server profile where WebSphere Portal Express is installed; for example wp_profile.
