If a user is already connected to the IBM® Sametime® Community
Server through several different clients, and another user attempts
to initiate an instant messaging session with the logged-in user, Sametime uses a default
login order to determine which client type should receive the instant
messaging session. A preferred login list allows you to override the
default order.
About this task
The Sametime Community
Server depends upon the default list of client types, each of which
has a predefined weight. Login order for each user depends upon the
login-type weight. The first login type, having minimal weight, is
the one provided for the incoming instant messaging session.
Default
order of login types on Sametime:
- Sametime Connect
Client clients
- Sametime Mobile
clients
- Sametime Proxy clients
Procedure
- Open a text editor on the Sametime Community Server.
- Open the sametime.ini file located
in the Sametime server
installation directory (the default directory in Windows™ is C:\program files\ibm\domino).
- In the [Config] section, specify the order of the login
types that overrides the default order. If a user is logged in to
multiple clients, offline messages are delivered to the client running
the latest release, if available. If that release of the client is
not available, offline messages are delivered to the client based
on this default order.

1431,1430,14A3,14A2,14A1,14A0
For a list of login
types, see Tech Note 1114318 on the IBM Support
website.
