The single login type mode means that only one login per
user is allowed. When a client attempts to log in to the IBM® Sametime® Community
Server, the server checks to see if there are any existing logins
of the same user, and disconnects them. Any client on the exclusion
list is not disconnected, which is useful for users who want to run
multiple clients simultaneously.
About this task
To configure the single login function and exclude certain
client types from qualifying as logins, edit the sametime.ini file.
Procedure
- Open a text editor on the Sametime Community Server.
- Open the sametime.ini file located
in the Sametime Community
Server installation directory. For example, the default directory
in Windows™ is C:\program
files\ibm\domino.
- In the Config section, set the following
flag to activate single client login mode:
VP_ONLY_SINGLE_LOGIN_ALLOWED=1
If
the flag is set to 1 the server works in the single
login allowed mode. When a new client login request is received, all
the previous logins are disconnected. Only one client type connection
per computer is allowed at one time (related to client types, not
users).
- Specify which client types are not
considered logins when the server checks whether to accept or disconnect
clients. Separate the client types with commas.
VPS_EXCLUDED_LOGIN_TYPES=clienttype1,
clienttype2
For a list of client types,
see Technote 1114318 on the IBM Support
website.
In the following configuration, even though
single client login mode is activated, logins originating from C++
clients and Unified instant messaging clients will not be disconnected
if they have logged in from the Sametime client too.
VPS_EXCLUDED_LOGIN_TYPES=1002,
1304 - To access Sametime from

- Add this setting to the [Config] section: ST_MINIMAL_CLIENT_VERSION=6510
