IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 Release Notes Documentation updates
Setting up the EMS and a Meeting Service Cluster
It is possible to select HTTP tunneling on port 80 for Sametime clients -- there is no reason not to select
this option, if desired. The Sametime server installation provides an option to enable HTTP tunneling on
port 80 for Sametime clients.
Reference text: Do not select this option during the Sametime server installation. A Sametime server
attached to the EMS should not be configured to support HTTP tunneling on port 80.
Administering the Sametime server
Assigning policies to groups
You can assign a standard policy to a group, for example, Marketing. On the 'Setting new Policy for
groups' page, create a new Policy named "policyMarketing", assign users to policyMarketing, and View
the details of policyMarketing. To do this, follow these steps:
1.
On the main Policy page, click "New".
2.
Fill in the name of the Policy.
3.
Add a description for the Group/Policy. The default size of the text entry field is a maximum of 200
characters.
4.
Select the policy attributes you want to update and click "OK," or click "Cancel" to cancel all new
policy settings for the group.
5.
Click "Assign Users".
6.
On the 'Assign Users' page, select a directory to add users and groups. Search or type the user or
group names to find them, and add them to the policy. Add as many names and groups to the list as
needed.
7.
Select "OK" to return to the policy list page.
8.
To delete the Group/Policy settings, click "Delete".
Note: Users/groups can be assigned to a user policy. The default policy has no user/group assignment.
When the Sametime Policy service calculates a policy for a specific user, it applies the default policy if no
other policy is found for that user.
Client log file overview
By default, all generated metadata files, including log files, are located in <user.home>/Application
Data/Sametime, for example on windows, C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Sametime.
1) <user.home>/Application Data/Sametime/sametime.log.{x}
The Sametime application log file. Contains all log statements and exceptions handled by the Sametime
client.
The numbers at the end of the log file are increased everytime a new client session is started. The active
client session is always sametime.log.0, the previous session becomes sametime.log.1, the one before
that becomes sametime.log.2, etc.
