Before an IBM® Sametime® Community Server
can support IPv6 addressing on IBM i,
you must configure IPv6 support for the Domino® server on which
it is hosted.
Before you begin
Domino and
the Sametime Community
server must be installed; the Domino server must be
running (it does not matter whether the Community Server is also running
at this point).
About this task
In Domino,
only IPv4 addressing is enabled by default. Configuring Domino to support IPv6
addressing involves several steps, including adding configuration
settings to the notes.ini
file for the Domino server.
For
information on supporting IPv6 with Domino, see "IPv6 and Domino" in the Domino Administration
product documentation.
Procedure
- Enable support for IPv6 addresses in Domino by adding the
following settings to the
notes.ini
file:tcp_enableipv6=1
DONT_USE_REMEMBERED_ADDRESSES=1
- Update the Domino TCP/IP
port settings in the
notes.ini
file so they only
specify the IPv6 address, like this:Ports=TCPIPV6
TCPIPV6=TCP,0,15,0,,12288
TCPIPV6_TcpIPaddress=0,Domino_server's_explicit_IPv6_address
- Update the
stcommsrvrtk.jar
file in the Domino installation directory:
To support IPv6-only addressing for a Sametime Community Server
running on IBM i, you must replace
the stcommsrvrtk.jar
file with a newer version. Run
the following command, where "8xx" is the version of Domino that you are using
for your Community Server:
CPY OBJ('/QIBM/ProdData/LOTUS/sametime/stcommsrvrtk.jar')
TODIR('/QIBM/ProdData/LOTUS/domino8xx') REPLACE(*YES) OWNER(*KEEP)
For
example, if your Community Server is running on a Domino 8.0.2 server,
run this command:
CPY OBJ('/QIBM/ProdData/LOTUS/sametime/stcommsrvrtk.jar')
TODIR('/QIBM/ProdData/LOTUS/domino802') REPLACE(*YES) OWNER(*KEEP)
- Verify that the server host table and the Domain Name Server
use the server's IPv6 address, which is mapped to the host name.
- Restart the Domino server
so your changes can take effect.
- Determine whether you need to add the IPv6 address to the HTTP
hostname field in the Community Server's "Server"
document in Domino:
This depends on how the Domain Name Server resolves the host
name. To determine whether you need to add the IPv6 address to the
"Server" document, attempt to access the Community Server from a web
browser using an IPv6 client:
http://Community_Server's_host_name
- If you do need to add the IPv6 address, continue with step
7; otherwise, skip to step 8.
- To add the IPv6 address to the HTTP hostname field
in the server document, complete the following substeps:
- On the Domino/Sametime Community Server,
start the Domino Administrator
client.
- In the Domino Administrator,
navigate to the Server pane and double-click your Community Server's
name to open the corresponding "Server" document.
- In the "Server" document, click .
The fully qualified host name of the Community Server should
already appear in the HTTP hostname field.
- Update the HTTP hostname field
by pressing Enter (used as a delimiter) and
then adding the IPv6 address to the field.
- Save and close the "Server" document.
- Restart the HTTP service on the Domino server by running
the following command in the console:
- Verify that you can access the Community Server from a
web browser using an IPv6 client:
http://Community_Server's_host_name
