Configure trust for the Sametime Contact List portlet

To use the Sametime Contact List portlet, you configure the IBMLotusSametimeserver 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.


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 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 DominoDirectory; 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 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.
