Deploying
IBM® Sametime® consists of a variety of servers and clients, and can be deployed to suit many different environments. The deployment instructions are organized by feature set, beginning with the minimum components that are necessary to support instant messaging, and then expanding the deployment to include features such as audio and video support, and conferencing.

Deploying Connections community widgets for Sametime®
There are two IBM® Connections community widgets forSametime®, the Meeting Rooms Widget and the Chat Rooms Widget.
Installing and configuring the Meeting Rooms widget
Install and configure the Meeting Rooms widget.
Installing the Membership Synchronizer in WebSphere®
Community owners are mapped to be managers of meeting rooms. This mapping of Community owners to meeting room managers is done by the MeetingRoomsMembershipSynchroniser.jar file. When an owner is added to, or removed from a Community, the membership synchronizer updates the manager's list of all meeting rooms within the Community.
Supplying credentials
The membership synchronizer makes HTTP requests to the IBM® Sametime® Meeting Server on behalf of a user, therefore, it must use credentials. Use the Java™ Authentication and Authorization Service to create administrative credentials for the membership synchronizer.
Supplying the membership synchronizer with unique values
After the administrative credentials are configured, supply the membership synchronizer with property values unique to your setup of IBM® Connections and IBM Sametime® Meetings. Use WebSphere® variables to include the properties in the membership synchronizer.
