Register a new IBM® Sametime® Community Server
with the Sametime System
Console so that you can administer the Community Server from the System
Console's administration pages. Even if you will cluster Sametime Community Servers,
you must register the individual servers first.
Before you begin
The Sametime System
Console must be running when you register a Sametime Community Server.
The IBM Domino® server and Sametime Community Server
must also be running.
Procedure
- Back up the console.properties and productConfig.properties files:
- Navigate to the Community Server's Sametime console directory:
- IBM AIX® or Linux:
The console directory is under the Community Server data directory;
for example: /opt/IBM/domino85/notesdata/console
- Microsoft Windows: The console directory is under the Domino directory; for
example: C:\Lotus\Domino\console
- Make backup copies of the console.properties and productConfig.properties files.
- Update the following values in the console.properties file,
and then save and close the file:
Table 1. console.properties settingsSetting |
Description |
SSCHostName |
Provide the fully qualified host name of the Sametime System Console
server. |
SSCHTTPPort |
Specify the HTTP port used for the Sametime System Console
server if SSL is not enabled and the value for SSCSSLEnabled is false. To
determine the correct HTTP port, open the AboutThisProfile.txt file
for the Sametime System
Console's Application Server Profile and use the setting specified
for the "HTTP transport port." The default profile name is STSCAppProfile.
For example, on Windows the
file is stored in the following location: C:/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppServerProfile/logs/AboutThisProfile.txt
|
SSCUserName |
Provide the IBM WebSphere® Application Server
User administrator user name that you created when you installed Sametime System Console.
The default is wasadmin. |
SSCPassword |
Provide the password associated with the SSCUserName. |
SSCSSLEnabled |
Change this value to trueto
connect to the Sametime System
Console using a secure connection. |
SSCHTTPSPort |
Specify the HTTPS port used by the Sametime System Console
server if SSCSSLEnabled is set to "true." |
- Verify that the settings in the productConfig.properties file
are correct, modifying them as needed before saving and closing the
file.
Only the required values in this file are listed
here.

Description |
DepName |
Provide a descriptive name for your deployment.
This name will be stored on the Sametime System Console,
so you must ensure it is unique. |
NodeHostName |
Provide the fully qualified host name for the Sametime Community Server
that is being registered. |
- Now register the server:
- Run the registration utility with the following command:
- AIX or Linux: registerSTServerNode.sh
- Windows: registerSTServerNode.bat
- As the registration utility runs, you will be prompted
to enter the following information:
Table 3. Information

The utility registers the server. If the registration
is successful, a console.pid is generated.
- Restart the Sametime Community
Server.
After you restart the server, the SSCUserName and SSCPassword settings
will be removed from the console.properties file
and replaced with a new SSCEncodedAuthorization setting;
for example:
SSCEncodedAuthorization=d2FzYWRtaW46MTIz
