You can customize the plugin_customization.ini file
to add features from a custom plug-in or to change the default installed
preferences.
Procedure
Follow these steps to customize the plugin_customization.ini file.
- Open the downloaded
plugin_customization.ini
file
in a text editor.Mac
install_mpkg\deploy\plugin_customization.ini
Windows™
install-kit-base-dir\deploy\plugin_customization.ini
- Change the default preferences that you want users to receive.
For a list of preferences you can add, see Sametime® client preferences.
After installation, users can manually override the preferences
set with the plugin_customization.ini file by
using the Preferences dialog in their Sametime Connect clients.
If you prefer to set preferences at runtime with the option of locking
the preferences, use the Expeditor managed settings framework to set
read-only preferences instead.
- If you created a custom plug-in, identify the features
to install.
- Add the features to the plugin_customization.ini file.
For example:
com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.community/SametimeServer=chat1.sametime.example.com
com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.ui/stbranding=custom.branding.custom_feature
- If you did not sign the plug-in, comment out these four
lines from the plugin_customization.ini file.
Otherwise the installation will fail:
#com.ibm.rcp.security.update/VERIFICATION_LISTENER=com.ibm.rcp.security.update.DefaultVerificationListener
com.ibm.rcp.security.update/EXPIRED_SIGNATURE_POLICY=PROMPT
#com.ibm.rcp.security.update/UNSIGNED_PLUGIN_POLICY=PROMPT
#com.ibm.rcp.security.update/UNTRUSTED_SIGNATURE_POLICY=PROMPT
- Close and save the file.
-
Repackage the download image before distributing it to your users. If you are making the client
installation package available on an HTTP server, generate a new installation package.
What to do next
If you plan to install clients in silent mode, change
the CREATECOMMUNITYTEMPLATE setting in the silentinstall.ini file
to false.
