The IBM® WebSphere® SIP and XMPP proxy servers are
the first point of contact, after the firewall, for messages that
flow into and out of your enterprise. Install the proxy servers for
both stand-alone or network deployment installations of Sametime® Gateway. For best
results, install a WebSphere SIP
and XMPP proxy server on its own node.
About this task
The WebSphere SIP
and XMPP proxy server node installation creates a WebSphere Application Server node with
two application servers installed. One server is a generic SIP proxy
server provided by WebSphere Application
Server, and the other is a standard application server onto which
the XMPP proxy application is installed. The node does not function
until it is federated to the Sametime Gateway cluster's
deployment manager.
Procedure
- On the computer where you will install the Sametime Gateway server,
log on as root (AIX® or Linux™) or as the system administrator
(Windows™).
- Find the
software packages you need to download.
- Download
the packages.
- Extract all downloaded packages.
- Install IBM Installation Manager.
-
Install IBM
WebSphere Network Deployment.
- Navigate to the folder where you extracted the Sametime Gateway package
and run the following command to install Sametime Gateway:
- AIX or Linux
install.sh -console
Attention: If one or more of the DNS addresses
in your environment (for example: WebSphere Application
Server installation host name,
DB2® host name, or
LDAP host name) refers to an IPv6-format address, add the following option to your install
command to work around an IPv6-related issue with the
installer:
install.sh -console -V BypassWasInfoCheck=true
Because your input
will not be verified during installation, you should take extra care when typing
values.
- Windows
- For wizard mode:
