IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 Release Notes Known limitations, problems, and workarounds
Internet e-mail addresses not supported in LDAP attribute
If a Sametime server is setup to use an LDAP directory, there is an optional setting in stconfig.nsf that
specifies the LDAP attribute to use for the internal Sametime ID of a user. This setting cannot contain an
LDAP attribute that holds the internet e-mail address for users. If it does, then web conferences that are
restricted to certain users will not work properly and other user-restriction related features may be broken
in Sametime.
Telephony Mock Service Provider allowed to coexist with Avaya SP
A Sametime server does not support both the Mock Service Provider and an Avaya Service Provider
installed simultaneously. The installer for the Sametime 7.5 Telephony Mock Service Provider does not
currently check for an existing Avaya Service Provider on the server (likewise, an Avaya Service Provider
may not check for another existing service provider on the system). As a result, a user will be allowed to
install both service providers on a server, even though doing so will not result in a working configuration.
To avoid this problem, never install both of these service providers simultaneously on a single Sametime
server.
Users appear offline logging into discrete nodes of a cluster
Users in the buddy list are associated with a community; a community is unique, according to a hostname
and user ID. Therefore, when logging into discrete hosts that represent a single, logical Sametime server,
a new community is created for each one. Users associated with a particular community will only show
awareness when logged into that community's host.
Web conferencing issues
Directory dialogs do not show a user's online status
The Directory and Invite dialogs do not correctly show added users' online status. A previous issue with
not showing a user's capabilities (video camera, speakers, microphone) has been fixed.
Leave Meeting fails in certain configurations
With some versions of Mozilla/Firefox the "Leave Meeting" functionality fails in an Instant Meeting. When
a user launches an Instant Meeting from the new instant messaging client using some versions of
Mozilla/Firefox for the meeting, the "Leave Meeting" from the file menu may not work. This is due to
Mozilla/Firefox not allowing JavaScript code to close the primary browser window. This does not affect
scheduled meetings, and is not seen in Internet Explorer.
