Setting up Sametime integration with the SharePoint Server
Set up IBM® Sametime® integration with the Microsoft™ Office SharePoint Server by modifying the template files on the SharePoint Server.
Before you begin
The full SharePoint Server provides the best experience for Sametime integration with SharePoint. For most customers, the full server provides awareness built into pages such as My Site and the Colleague Tracker. If you plan to develop your own pages, or if you already have your own pages, follow the Microsoft SharePoint instructions for adding awareness (presence) to SharePoint. To provide Sametime awareness with SharePoint, JavaScript™ scripts are provided for download from this Tech Note: Sametime SharePoint 2013 Integration. Use the Download link in the Content section of the Tech Note.
Ensure that you meet the following server requirements for setting up Sametime integration with Office SharePoint:
- Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 or more recent
- A web page containing livenames. If you do not have a web page of livenames, refer to the Microsoft instructions. An example is provided with the SharePoint Server 2007 in the Colleague Tracker on My Site.
- Microsoft Active Directory
- IBM Sametime Community Server with the following configuration:
- Configured to use Active Directory LDAP
- Configured to resolve SMTP email addresses (usually in addition to other search attributes)
Ensure that you meet the following client requirements for setting up Sametime integration with Office SharePoint:
- IBM Sametime Connect client
- Internet Explorer
- (Optional) Microsoft Outlook 2007 or more recent is required for some Outlook-specific menu functions
