IBM® iNotes® integrates an instant messaging (IM) capability so that users can chat with others online and maintain an instant messaging list that shows the online status of others.
The instant messaging awareness feature also displays online status next to the names of people in mail messages, views and folders. In addition, Web conferencing capabilities are available if your organization purchased IBM Sametime®.
To access the Sametime server using a protocol that is different from the current Web page's protocol, use the notes.ini file setting iNotes_WA_SametimeProtocol.
Use these installation instructions to install and set up Sametime for iNotes.
For information about installing Sametime, see the Sametime product documentation and wiki.
The Sametime server should be in the same Domino domain as the iNotes server.
Create connection documents for the iNotes and Sametime servers if the Sametime server is not in the same domain as the iNotes server. If the Sametime server is in the same domain as the iNotes server, but is not clustered with the registration server, create a connection document to replicate the Domino directory.
Create connection documents and include the following information.
iNotes has its own contact list that replaces Sametime Connect for browsers. Use these steps to set up the iNotes contact list.
Domino single sign-on (SSO) authentication allows Web users to log in once to a Domino WebSphere® Application Server, and then access any other Domino or WebSphere Application Server in the same DNS domain that is enabled for single sign-on (SSO) without having to log in again. In a multiple server environment, it is possible that one or more servers in your Domino domain are already configured for Domino SSO, and the Domino Directory already contains a Domino Web SSO configuration document. When you install Sametime, it creates a Web SSO configuration document called LtpaToken unless one already exists in the Domino directory. If an LtpaToken configuration document already exists, Sametime does not attempt to alter it.
If your iNotes server is not configured for Web SSO, and you want to use the Web SSO document that Sametime created to configure it, complete the steps in this section:
If your iNotes server is already configured for Domino Web SSO, update iNotes server Web SSO configuration by completing these steps. You must add the Sametime server to your configuration:
Although Domino SSO is the preferred authentication method, you can continue to use secrets and tokens authentication databases, if you are already using them. For example, if any server in your domain is configured for something other than multiple server SSO, for example, single server SSO, you must use secrets and tokens authentication.
If the instant messaging status does not appear next to the Welcome username text in iNotes, check the user's Person document in the Domino directory. If you configured the Sametime server by populating this document, make sure the Sametime server field is correct. See the Basics tab, Real-Time Collaboration section.
