Message handler properties
Use this page to configure the properties of a message handler such as the user locator, authorization controller, or event logger.
Name
There are three message handlers that are part of Sametime Gateway Server and cannot be removed:Message handler name | Purpose |
---|---|
User locator | The User locator finds the profiles associated with the originator and the target user of the message using the user name and domain from email addresses. The User locator returns an error if an inbound request contains a blacklisted domain name. The handler adds the community identifiers of the originating and target users to the message header. |
Authorization controller | Only messages successfully processed by the User locator are passed to the Authorization controller for further processing. The Authorization controller's main task is to allow or disallow the initiator of the message in one community to perform the requested operation with the destination user in another community. |
Event logger | The Event logger records instant messaging

Type
Select the type of message handler. Choices are User locator, Access control, Event log, and Other. When a message handler is first installed, the default type is undefined and its status is disabled. To enable the message handler, you must select Enable the message handler .Run this message handler regardless of the status of previous message handlers
Select to make running the message handler mandatory. That is, run the message handler regardless of whether a previously run message handler completed its process or encountered an error. If this setting is not selected, and any preceding message handler raises an error, the message handler will not run. A message handler that is not mandatory is considered conditional.Name | Type | Mandatory or Conditional | Status |
