[Connectivity]
section, confirm the host name (VPS_HOST
) of the Sametime Community Server to which the Sametime Community Mux connects (specified during the Sametime Community Mux installation and in the Sametime Community Server's stconfig.nsf database. - If you are not using the default port of 1516, add the
port (

VPS_TLS_PORT
setting, that the Sametime Community Mux uses to establish a connection with the Sametime Community Server, typically port 1516. - If the Sametime Community Server port is in strict TLS mode, disable legacy Sametime encryption, by setting VPS_PORT=0 in the sametime.ini file.
- Copy the TLS configuration settings from the Sametime Community Server
to the Sametime Community
Mux. In the
sametime.ini
file of the Sametime Community Server, in the[Config]
section, locate all entries that begin withST_TLS_
orSTMUX_TLS_
and copy them to the sametime.ini file of the Sametime Community Mux. - If any of the following settings exist in sametime.ini under
the

The Maximum user and server connections to the Community Server setting
in the Sametime System Console for the Sametime Community Server does not apply to a stand-alone
multiplexer. Instead, the
VPMX_CAPACITY=
parameter in the Sametime Community Mux server's own sametime.ini file controls the maximum number of connections.In the
[Config]
section, confirm or change the maximum number of simultaneous connections allowed to the Sametime Community Mux. The default value is 20,000 connections.VPMX_CAPACITY=20000
- If the Sametime
Community Mux connects to Sametime servers running
version earlier than Sametime 8.0.2,
add the following setting with a value of 1:
VPMX_ASSUME_COMMUNITY_ISFUNC=1
This setting enables the Sametime Community Mux to connect to the older server.
- Save the sametime.ini file.
