Known problems and workarounds

Installation issues

Sametime setup fails when xACL enabled for Domino Directory

Currently, Sametime cannot be installed successfully when the Domino Directory (names.nsf) is

configured to use an extended ACL (xACL). In order to install Sametime successfully, a customer must

first disable xACL support for the Domino Directory. After installing Sametime, the customer may then

re-enable the xACL. Extended ACL support can be configured by opening names.nsf in a Notes client,

navigating to File -> Database -> Access Control, and then clicking on the Advanced tab.

Client issues

Acrobat Reader must be installed for some autorun links to work

The Autorun links for 'Release Notes', 'Installation Guide', and 'Administration Guide' will not work unless

Acrobat Reader has been installed.

Issue receiving emotion icons and images on a Linux client

There is a known issue receiving emotion icons and images sent by a Windows connect client to a Linux

connect client. In this case, the images will not be displayed on the Linux client; this is not the case for

images sent from Linux to a Linux client or from Linux to a Windows client.
