By default, the IBM®
Sametime® Proxy Server works with an entire Sametime community, but you can optionally configure it to
work with one or more Sametime Community Server clusters
instead.
Before you begin
Before completing this task, ensure that Sametime Community Server
is configured correctly.
About this task
Complete the following steps to connect the Sametime
Proxy Server to a specific Sametime Community Server
cluster. If you have more than one cluster of Sametime
Community Servers, use this procedure to designate which cluster a Sametime Proxy Server connects to. For example, if you have a
Sametime Community Server cluster in Europe and one in the
Americas, you would want to designate that a Sametime
Proxy Server in Europe connect to the cluster in Europe.
Procedure
- Login to the Sametime System
Console with administrator privileges.
Example: https://yourserver.com:8701/ibm/console
- Expand the Sametime System Console twistie.
- Select Sametime Proxy Servers
- Select the Deployment Name for the Sametime Proxy Server deployment
you wish to configure.
-
The List of Sametime Community Server cluster names field designates
which Sametime Community Server or cluster to connect to
the current Sametime Proxy Server in a distributed
environment. Review the following options and determine which option suits your environment:
- Option 1: Enter cluster names to specify the name of each cluster. Separate each cluster name
with a comma (,).
For example: CN=abc/O=ABC,CN=efg/O=EFG
- Option 2: Enter the fully qualified internet host name of each individual server. Separate each
server name with a comma (,).
For example: sametimehost1.ibm.com,
sametimehost2.ibm.com
- Option 3: leave the field blank.
Leave this field empty in the following situations:
- You want to connect to all Sametime Community Servers
simultaneously
- You have only one Sametime Community Server
deployed
- You have only one Sametime Community Server cluster
deployed
- Click Apply.
- Click the Save link in the "Messages"
box at the beginning of the page.
