To ensure that clients recognize all servers in the environment
as belonging to a single community, add a ST_COMMUNITY_ID value to
the sametime.ini file.
About this task
All users and public groups in the contact list are associated
with a specific community. Each community is defined by a community
name that is configured by the ST_COMMUNITY_ID flag in the [Config]
section of the sametime.ini file. When the flag
is not set, the default value is the server host name (a specific Sametime® node that user
the logs into). For example, if a user logs into the community sametime.example.com and
adds contact A, that contact will be associated with the community sametime.ibm.com.
If the users logs into sametime2.example.com and
adds contact B, that contact will be associated with community sametime2.example.com.Complete
this procedure to add the same ST_COMMUNITY_ID parameter to each Sametime Community Server
in the environment. Doing so prevents clients from creating redundant
communities for servers in the same environment.
Procedure
- Open a text editor on the Sametime Community Server.
- Open the sametime.ini file located
in the Sametime Community
Server installation directory.
This directory is typically
found in one of the following locations:
- AIX®:
/local/notesdata
- Linux™:
/local/notesdata
- Windows™:
C:\Lotus\Domino
- In the [Config] section, add the
community ID. The value can be any descriptive string, not necessarily
a domain name. Use this syntax:
ST_COMMUNITY_ID=community_name
For
example, the following value names the community sametime.example.com
:
ST_COMMUNITY_ID=sametime.example.com
- Save the sametime.ini file.
- Repeat the procedure for every Community Server in the
environment.
- Restart each Community Server after saving the change to
the sametime.ini file.
