Disabling Persistent Chat policy
This section describes how users can configure policy to allow/disallow users to use the new persistent chat features.
About this task
Note: The persistent chat feature is required (must be enabled) for the web client.
By default, the policy for persistent chat is enabled for both default and anonymous policies. Policies are configured in the policies.users.xml file. For more information on policies, see the topic Configuring Policies.
Procedure
- Remote into the Sametime Community server.
- Open the policies.users.xml file located in the Domino program directory and place in edit mode.
- Modify the ‘current-value’ of im.persistentChatEnabled and change from "1" to “0” (for false).
-
Save and Close the file.
As a best practice it is recommended to test the policies.users.xml file using a browser to ensure formatting is correct.
Sametime Policies refresh once per hour. If the changes are needed sooner, restart the Community Server for the change to take effect.
