IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes through an HTTPS proxy server. The HTTPS connection method is used to establish the connection but the data passing over this connection is not encrypted with SSL. If the Domino HTTP server is also configured to listen for HTTPS connections on port 443, a conflict occurs because the Sametime Community Services are also configured to listen for HTTPS connections on the same port number.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes Services. After you have added a new IP address to the Sametime server, set up your DNS server to map the new IP address to a DNS name for the Sametime server Community Services. For the Community Services, map the IP address to the DNS name "community-xxx.xxx.xxx" (where xxx.xxx.xxx is the DNS name that was bound to the Sametime HTTP server in step 1 above). For example, you would map the new IP address to the DNS name "community-www.sametime1.com.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes Services connections on ports 443 or 563. This design in the Sametime 2.5 server accomodates the multiple IP address issues discussed in "Connecting to the Community Services on port 443 when the Domino HTTP server is configured to listen for SSL connections on port 443" above. The Sametime 2.5 Connect client is also hard-coded to prepend the string "Community-" to its Host setting when its "Community port" setting specifies port 443 or 563.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 z Release Notes Community Services on port 80. A Sametime Meeting Room client can make HTTP-tunneled connections to both the Sametime Community Services and Meeting Services on port 80. All of these connections can occur to the same DNS name using port 80. On a Sametime 7.5.x server, it is not necessary to assign separate IP addresses to the HTTP Services, Community Services, and Meeting Services to enable connections to all services to occur using a single DNS name on port 80.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes .level The default logging level for the application. This level is applied to the root logger, and the level that should be changed to trigger more verbose logging. The options from most verbose to least verbose are as follows: FINEST FINER FINE - shows fine messages, which produces much useful debug information INFO - default level WARNING SEVERE If experiencing a bug, set .level to FINE, reproduce the problem and examine the sametime.log.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes Case-sensitivity for the client By default, the client is case-sensitive, but can be made case-insensitive by updating the plugin_customization.ini file with the value below, and restarting the client: com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.people/isCaseInsensitive=false The plugin_customization.ini file is located directly inside the installation directory.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes should be comma-separated, and should contain client types in hexadecimal format, but without the leading "0x". Example: In sametime.ini: [Config] VPS_PREFERRED_LOGIN_TYPES=1002,1304 Suppose that user A is logged in with two clients: 1304 (UIM blue) and 1002 (6.5 C++). User B connects to user A and starts a chat. According to the default list, the UIM client should pop-up the chat dialog, but because of the VPS_PREFERRED_LOGIN_TYPES list supplied in the sametime.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes Sametime, Sametime Gateway, Sametime Mobile Force users to connect through home cluster Sometimes, it is essential that users connect to their home server, for example, when using Facetime. In this case, to prevent the ability to connect to remote servers, forwarded log-ins should be rejected during the log-in process. This means that users should connect only to their home server. This release note relates to both servers and clusters.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes There are a couple of other methods for changing configuration values that should assure retrieval of the latest values: 1. Make the configuration changes. 2 Stop the server. 3. Delete the file 'SametimeCommunity2.xml' from the data directory. 4. Restart the server. Or method: 1. Make the configuration changes. 2.

IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes Sametime Connect 7.5.x client and pre-Sametime Connect 7.5.x client File transfer between the 7.5.x client and pre-7.5 clients will always go through the server. Pre-7.5 clients are not P2P capable. As such, when chatting from a 7.5.x client to a pre-7.5 client, if file transfer is not allowed in the user Policy, then the file transfer icon will be disabled for the pre-7.5 client user. This is the result of a "Capabilities" check.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes unless you have acquired and deployed a virus scanning program. Sametime, Sametime Gateway, Sametime Mobile Sametime Policy for Anonymous user If Anonymous user access is allowed by a Sametime administrator, a specific policy needs to be provided for anonymous users.

IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes Sametime Video Chat: Automatically adjusting bit rate RTCP is used for finding out the current network conditions; it is the feedback mechanism for the Sametime Video Engine. Based on the current network conditions and packet loss, the send bit rate is adjusted by the video engine. The bit-rate increases if more network bandwidth is available, and the remote client will see better quality video.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes Those ports must be opened for incoming and outgoing UDP and TCP traffic, on the reflector machine. It is recommended that the reflector machine have a static IP address. In case the reflector is running on multiple network interfaces, it must be configured with either a hostname or an IP address, so that clients know which address to use to connect to the reflector. For example, in the [STReflector] section of the sametime.ini file STREFLECTOR_SERVER_NAME=reflector.
IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5.1 Release Notes Uninstallation information Sametime Gateway Uninstall on AIX when only Application Server is selected There is a known issue on the AIX platform during uninstallation if only the WebSphere Application Server feature is selected to remove, and other components are not selected for removal.
