Connecting IBM® Sametime® Advanced to an IBM Sametime Proxy Server activates
the awareness feature allows browser clients to see the status of
their contacts.
Before you begin
- You must have a Sametime Proxy
Server installed and configured.
- You must set up Single Sign-On between Sametime Advanced and the Sametime Community Server.
- The Sametime servers
that run on IBM WebSphere® Application Server install with
SSL enabled, using a self-signed certificate from IBM. For awareness to work, the Sametime Advanced server
must use the same certificate that the Sametime Proxy Server uses.
Procedure
- On the server hosting the Sametime System Console,
log in to the WebSphere Integrated
Solutions Console.
- Click .
- In the Sametime Advanced Servers list,
click the deployment name of the server with the information that
you want to add or change.
- Click the Administrative Settings tab.
- In the Sametime Proxy
Server section, specify the host name, port, and protocol for the Sametime Proxy Server. If
you have configured the Sametime Proxy
Server behind a reverse proxy, use those connection settings here
as appropriate.
- Host name
Type the fully qualified host name of the Sametime Proxy Server; example: sametime_proxy.example.com.
This is the host name that you provided when you created a deployment
plan before installing the Sametime Proxy Server.
- Port
Type the port number that the Sametime Proxy Server is
listening on.
- Protocol
Use HTTP for regular connections. Use HTTPS if
the Sametime Proxy Server
is secured with SSL.
- Click OK.
Sametime Advanced automatically
makes the changes without restarting the server.
